2019 Resident Services Associate
 
 
 
LUCHA (the Spanish word for “struggle”) advances housing as a human right by empowering communities- particularly the Latino and Spanish-speaking populations- through advocacy, education, affordable housing development and comprehensive housing services. Summer VISTAs members enable the Resident Services team to continue reaching the maximum number of tenants for programming and workshops. Summer VISTAs allow us to serve more tenants as they help directly with outreach, recruitment, event marketing and community building. In addition, members are encouraged - by the end of their service - to plan and host their own programming which they deem relevant to our residents. Staff will support member with planning and resources. Lastly, the VISTA will assist the Resident Services team with increased capacity in providing case management with tenants; thereby enhancing resident programming and equipping clients to navigate their current reality in terms of housing, employment and health. This position is a part of the Housing Action VISTA Network, which is an AmeriCorps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. As such, this position will receive expert training, support, guidance, and networking opportunities, in addition to the traditional opportunities for AmeriCorps VISTA positions. Learn more about the program at Housing Action’s website.
