VHA - Southside Affordable Housing Development Coordinator

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 Southside Community Development & Housing Corporation (SCDHC) located in Richmond, VA. Southside Community Development & Housing Corporation (SCDHC) is a historically Black-led affordable housing nonprofit located in Richmond’s Southside with the mission of using a holistic approach to create viable, thriving, and sustainable communities. We achieve our mission through the provision of residential and commercial development, homeownership education, financial counseling, employment services, and supportive programs for predominantly low-income Black-led, women-led, and Latinx families. SCHDC has had success in advancing racial equity in our communities, promoting BIPOC homeownership for over 10,000 families and revitalizing disinvested neighborhoods. However, considerable investment is needed to provide safeguards against displacement in Richmond’s rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods and, as a response, SCHDC plans to grow our capacity as a nonprofit housing developer of affordable single- and multi-family units. SCHDC is looking for a detail-oriented individual to serve as our Affordable Housing Development VISTA. The VISTA will help increase SCDHC’s single- and multi-family affordable housing developmental capacity by working with SCDHC’s Director of Real Estate Development to design and improve SCDHC’s housing programs.

The VISTA will expand resident services by enhancing community outreach and data collection strategies at SCDHC’s properties to assess the effectiveness of current programs. In addition, they will coordinate resident services based on the needs of residents, available SCDHC and partner resources, and funding availability.
