VHA - MWCLT Community Land Trust Homeownership VISTA

Virginia Housing Alliance’s (VHA) AmeriCorps VISTA project is a statewide intermediary project with 18 Host Sites, all that either work to expand affordable housing opportunities and/or end homelessness throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. VHA’s VISTA project aims to develop viable communities by promoting integrated approaches that provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and expansive economic opportunities for low and moderate-income persons. This listing is to fill the Host Site opening at Maggie Walker Community Land Trust (MWCLT) located in Richmond, VA. Maggie Walker Community Land Trust (MWCLT) seeks to develop and maintain permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for low and moderate-income households. Using the Community Land Trust (CLT) model, MWCLT creates single-family homes that are sold to qualified buyers while retaining ownership of the land beneath the houses. MWCLT is looking for a motivated individual to serve as the Homeownership Specialist VISTA member to focus on enhancing MWCLT’s homeownership program by evaluating and improving upon current processes in order to increase participation. Data-centered activities include integrating the homeownership application, as well as other forms, with MWCLT’s front-facing website and their internal Salesforce software, improving their ability to streamline data. The VISTA will also research best practices for Community Land Trusts and improve public participation of the Richmond Land Bank, a program that expands affordable housing by inviting applicants to develop affordable housing on Land Bank-owned properties, through targeted outreach strategies.

Member Duties : The VISTA will focus on enhancing the homeownership program by improving data collection, analysis, and data management systems. This also includes evaluating current processes to address barriers in homeownership. Utilizing existing data, the VISTA will create reports and visualizations that support and inform staff in the decision making process. The VISTA will also collaborate with the MWCLT team in identifying new funding streams, partners, and creating outreach campaigns strategically focused on increasing awareness of the CLT model as a road to homeownership. The VISTA will work to gain proficiency in Salesforce HomeKeeper, MWCLT’s data management platform, with a goal of improving the database, creating automated actions as necessary, and critically thinking through the way data can be collected and used to further advance their mission.
