Host Site: Mid-Michigan Tenant Resource Center (TRC)

Reports To: Khadja Erickson, Executive Director

The Tenant Resource Center of Mid-Michigan (TRC) is a community-driven organization dedicated to keeping Lansing residents housed - and helping those without housing find a place to call home. We provide tenants with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to navigate rental disputes, fight evictions, and assert their rights. For those searching for housing, we offer guidance, resources, and connections to help secure safe, affordable homes.

Through advocacy, education, and direct action, we stand alongside tenants to challenge unjust housing practices and build a future where safe, stable housing is a right - NOT a privilege.

The Housing Services Coordinator will play a critical role in supporting the Executive Director and other staff in expanding services and resources for mid-Michigan tenants. The Ameri Corps Volunteer will address the housing crisis through direct service support, tenant education, resource development, and organizational capacity building.
