Housing Alexandria, whose mission is to develop and preserve quality housing that is affordable while also supporting residents so they may thrive as members of the Alexandria community, is looking for a proactive and driven individual to serve as the Funder and Community Engagement VISTA. The Housing Alexandria VISTA will focus on expanding the capacity of the fundraising and communications team with the goal of assisting low-income Alexandrians in their journey to secure an affordable home from rental to ownership by helping to secure funding through grant writing, fundraising software support, creating targeted communication strategies, and identifying sources of funding. The vital work of the VISTA will help identify the needs of the residents, allowing Housing Alexandria to provide more efficient and effective services to the community.
