However, soaring housing costs threaten the vibrancy that makes Evanston such an attractive place to live. Housed in the City’s Community Development Department, the Housing Coordinator VISTA will increase the City’s collaboration with local and regional organizations, improve our communication with community members seeking housing assistance, and accelerate our data-driven approach to addressing the City’s housing needs. By strengthening our anti-displacement strategies and enhancing our production and preservation of affordable housing, this VISTA project will increase the long-term stability of our community members. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter who is collaborative and a relationship-builder. They should be an effective writer and communicator, data savvy, and demonstrate attention to detail.
