City of Grand Haven- Michigan Foreclosure Prevention Corps
 
 
 
The Michigan Foreclosure Prevention Corps is recruiting for 20 AmeriCorps members to serve statewide. The program was created to fill a critical gap in services at housing counseling agencies working with homeowners who are on the verge of or in foreclosure. For the upcoming year, the program has expanded with a financial empowerment pilot. Some members will serve strictly with foreclosure prevention, some with helping improve individuals’ financial situations and others' service terms will be a mix of both. Depending on the position, the members' service is focused around foreclosure prevention and intervention activities such as intake and triage for at risk-homeowners, planning and implementing resource fairs and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites and facilitating financial literacy workshops. More specific information for this position can be found in the "Member Duties" section of this posting. Each member is responsible for recruiting and managing volunteers, participating actively in building the capacity of the host agency and for ensuring that each client they interact with has a better understanding of resources available. This application is for the host site City of Grand Haven in Grand Haven, MI.
