Job description

Coordinadora Moriviví, Inc. is a non‑profit organization functioning as the Collaborative Agency for the Continuum of Care 503 (CoC PR-503) under a Federal HUD grant. This CoC covers 54 municipalities of Puerto Rico and serves 36 community- and faith-based organizations and municipal governments that have 96 HUD-financed projects for housing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families. In Coordinadora Moriviví we are looking for a proactive, empathetic, and committed person to serve the homeless population. If you have these qualities, we need you to help us evaluate services for this vulnerable population. Through this service opportunity, you will be able to develop yourself, gain professional experience, expand your knowledge of the homeless population, evaluate proposals, and create alliances with various sectors.

Member Duties

The AmeriCorps VISTA member will support efforts to strengthen the capacity of organizations serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness within the CoC PR-503 network.
