VHA - Habitat for Humanity of VA Resource Development VISTA
 
 
 
Virginia Housing Alliance’s AmeriCorps VISTA project is a statewide intermediary project with 18 Host Sites, all that either work to expand affordable housing opportunities or end homelessness throughout VA. VHA’s VISTA project aims to develop viable communities by promoting approaches that provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities for low and moderate-income persons. This listing is for Habitat for Humanity Virginia located in Charlottesville, VA. Habitat for Humanity Virginia is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing by assisting VA Habitat affiliates as they construct, rehabilitate and preserve homes; by advocating for housing focused policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help affiliates improve their capacity to address the lack of affordable housing throughout the state; and provide affordable housing for working families. Habitat VA recognizes a dire need to help affiliates expand their capacity to address the lack of affordable housing throughout the state. Habitat VA is looking for a collaborative-minded and detail-oriented self-starter to serve as the Resource Development VISTA, a role that will identify and develop tools for Habitat affiliates to increase both their capacity and funding. A VISTA can gain experience, knowledge of business practices, and confidence that will equip them for their future careers.
