AHSP - Housing Authority of Cook County
 
 
 
HACC's mission is to promote quality affordable housing, economic opportunity and a suitable living environment, free from discrimination. The HACC provides housing through two main programs: low-income public housing (LIPH) and rental assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV). The HACC’s LIPH program consists of over 2,100 units of low-income housing serving families, the elderly and disabled. The HACC’s housing stock is varied and includes low-rise and high-rise buildings, townhomes, single-family homes and duplexes. The HACC’s HCV program is designed to expand housing opportunities in the private housing market to low-income families. Since its inception in the program has grown dramatically and has become the HACC’s largest assistance program, with over 13,000 households participating including families, the elderly and the disabled. Today, the HACC provides rental assistance to households in nearly every community in Cook County.

Member Duties : The HACC desires to eradicate poverty by treating the whole situation of the client rather than offering a roof only. The Resident Services Outreach and Program Development VISTA will develop service partnerships with local social service providers with a special focus on employment and job training for adults and educational enhancement/after school programming for youth. The VISTA will create an online resident support services resource guide with links to service providers for needs such as child care assistance, mental health care, and employment and job training; update the guide as necessary; and evaluate the usefulness of the guide with the HACC clients who use it. The VISTA will also prepare, organize, and conduct outreach and educational events for residents. The VISTA will create a support services intake process, resident participation tracking, and performance measurement system for those residents engaged in these programs.
