Virginia Housing Alliance - PHA FOC & Housing Hub VISTA
 
 
 
Virginia Housing Alliance’s (VHA) AmeriCorps VISTA project is a statewide intermediary project with 17 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 Piedmont Housing Alliance (PHA) in Charlottesville, VA. Piedmont Housing Alliance (PHA) creates affordable housing opportunities and fosters community through education, lending, and equitable development. PHA is looking for a motivated individual to serve as the PHA Financial Opportunity Center & Housing Hub Community Engagement VISTA. PHA has established the Charlottesville area’s first Financial Opportunity Center (FOC) & Housing Hub, which opened its doors in October 2021. The FOC & Housing Hub model is an integrated approach to offering services, including eviction prevention and crisis recovery, affordable housing navigation, financial counseling/coaching, employment services, and income support navigation -- all aimed at building economic resilience and expanding affordable housing choices for families. The VISTA will build the capacity of PHA's partner network to engage with and enroll community residents in the Financial Opportunity Center (FOC) & Housing Hub, strengthen the mechanism by which community residents can play a constructive role in guiding the operations, and refine tools for assessing the impact of the hub, with a particular focus on evaluation measures centered on the lived experience of community residents.The VISTA will help deliver on PHA’s promise of engaging lower-income community residents, especially BIPOC households, in furthering financial and housing stability.

Member Duties : The VISTA member will cultivate relationships with agency staff members who work in and with low-income communities throughout the region to increase awareness regarding the available services and resources through the FOC & Housing Hub. This will take the form of developing and delivering materials and training, creating an effective referral mechanism by which this network of agency staff can seamlessly connect eligible participants to the hub, and researching opportunities for direct outreach and engagement activities to help maximize visibility and reach of the hub. The VISTA member will also play a vital role in developing a lived experience committee made up of community residents to serve on the Community Advisory board as well as developing opportunities for them to provide feedback, stories, and insight to help guide decision making.
