| Member Duties : The Housing Authority of Mingo County will utilize the VISTA to assist with the improvements to housing and economic development through research and applying for grant opportunities. These opportunities will allow new job creation within the southern coal fields, which has declined in the past few years. In addition, the VISTA will be able to develop and coordinate a summer food program that will provide food to children that are under the age of 18 years old. This will be a service to the communities that benefit from this program.
This program will seek funding to implement new programs and services to the area that will promote job creation and economic development. This is to help families that are currently out of work, unable to provide for themselves an opportunity to become employed. In addition, it will reduce a burden to laid off coal miners families in providing meals to children under the age of 18 during the summer.
