Housing Counseling Corps Outreach
The Communications & Outreach Associate will serve with Affordable Housing Centers of Pennsylvania (AHCOPA) in Philadelphia, PA from September . AHCOPA is part of the Housing Counseling Corps initiative of Housing Action Corps, an Ameri Corps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. Housing Counseling Corps members receive custom training, support, networking, and post-service employment opportunities in the housing counseling field, in addition to the traditional benefits of Ameri Corps VISTA.
As a HUD-Approved housing counseling agency, AHCOPA envisions a future where every household obtains the dream of home ownership. Through housing counseling, education, and advocacy, we increase and preserve housing stability and home ownership opportunities in Philadelphia. AHCOPA works primarily with low-to-moderate income, historically underserved households to support the creation of wealth through successful home ownership. The Communications & Outreach Associate will help design, pilot, and promote a new financial empowerment program to increase financial literacy amongst rent burdened households, with the goal of fostering future homeowners.
The VISTA will also work on an informational video series and develop a donor management system. Our ideal candidate is someone with good writing skills, a knack for video editing, and most importantly, an ability to think about systems–including managing spreadsheets, designing tracking systems, and implementing new donor management systems.
