Project Home Data VISTA
Position Summary
Position details
Help Project Home create pathways to possibility through stable housing, better health, and financial security!
Project Home (formerly Quality Housing Coalition) is a public health nonprofit that serves the population of adults and children in Maine who have experienced homelessness and/or are low-income renters (65,000+), the majority of whom are low-wage workers or attending K-12 schools. Project Home’s work begins with securing a home through housing navigation and eviction prevention, culturally-tailored in-home health navigation, direct cash assistance for single mothers, employment preparation and navigation, and ultimately home ownership navigation. The novel hub for low-income renters has provided over 1,000 stable rental homes for more than 3,000 adults and children, with over 100 landlord partners, and 3 first-time homeowners.
The Project Home Data Vista will build organizational capacity by strengthening our ability to track accurate data and developments in the housing/supportive services space and adapt in a timely manner to ensure that programming best serves its targeted clientele, creating pathways out of poverty through stable and affordable housing. The VISTA will focus on improving our data compliance, management, and reporting practices through the analysis and improvement of our CRM data system.
