Hcdnnj Homelessness Prevention And Community Outreach Vista

HCDNNJ Homelessness Prevention and Community Outreach VISTA

The Network's mission is to promote economic justice and the empowerment of low-income individuals and communities through access to safe and decent shelter for low- and moderate-income residents in New Jersey. VISTA members will support 200+ member organizations who are addressing homelessness, foreclosure prevention, and veterans' issues and provide support and infrastructure to help build their capacity and better serve the thousands of clients that count on them for services.

Our related affiliates are able to develop and implement strategic outreach to advocate and provide needed support to avoid homelessness when possible and other supportive services. HCDNNJ's AmeriCorps VISTA members will work in conjunction with senior staff and our members which includes non-profit, public and private partners to expand exposure and strengthen organizational capacity. Our AmeriCorps VISTA members will also receive customized training, support, professional development, and networking opportunities throughout their year of service.
