2020-2021 Supportive Housing Pipeline Coordinator VISTA
 
 
 
Founded in 1991, CSH’s mission is to advance solutions that use housing as a platform for services to improve the lives of the most vulnerable people, maximize public resources and build healthy communities. We do this through training, education, lending and consultation. This VISTA assignment will support CSH and our role within the Chicago CoC to align new supportive and rapid rehouing projects with the CoC goals and funding priorities. This work will document the progress of the community in creating at least 4,200 units of supportive housing and 4,500 units of rapid rehousing. In 2019, we launched the Homeless Housing Expansion Initiative to coordinate resources and funding priorities to align with community housing goals around homelessness. We are seeking a candidate with interest in housing development, strong interpersonal skills, analytical skills, and capability to navigate and use technology platforms. CSH will support the VISTA in developing project management skills and presentation methods. The VISTA will work in collaboration with other Illinois team members to complete tasks and also report to several committees within the Chicago Continuum of Care. 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 customized 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. This position can start in June, July, or August. Talk to your interviewer for more details.
