VISTA Strong Communities, a cohort overseen by the Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development (CNHED), is seeking a VISTA Candidate to serve at Community Solutions (www.community.solutions). Community Solutions (CS) deploys the best problem solving tools from multiple sectors to help communities end homelessness and the conditions that create it. Community Solutions co-developed the John and Jill Ker Conway Residence (JJKC), a 124-unit affordable housing development with 77 units of permanent supportive housing (PSH) for formerly homeless individuals. At the John and Jill Ker Conway Residence, CS is dedicated to helping formerly homeless residents thrive in their permanent home by coordinating wraparound supportive services and providing on-site social programming. JJKC residents are predominantly veterans (59%), 50+ (81%), male (84%) and Black (92%). At the JJKC residence, the VISTA will empower residents to create and implement peer-led initiatives that will bolster resident and staff capacity and increase resident satisfaction, health, and well-being.
