Throughout service, the Communications and Engagement VISTA will organize our archives, collect oral histories, document accomplishments, and plan ways to celebrate 40 years of impact to leverage Housing Action's anniversary year. They will also build awareness and understanding of homelessness and affordable housing and our coalition's role in addressing these issues in Illinois by updating our website, creating content for newsletters, and developing programmatic videos and animated explainers. In collaboration with staff, they will expand and diversify our resources by identifying and applying to prospective funders and strengthening individual giving campaigns.
