The Fair Housing Project of CVOEO is seeking a Community Organizer!
The Community Organizer position will work to coordinate a statewide effort to support local housing committees, including outreach, training, local policy development, and research related to housing discrimination and local housing needs.
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated person who has community organizing experience and a true passion for understanding Vermont’s affordable housing landscape, especially within the racial, social, and economic equity issues.
The Community Organizer will work with local organizations, municipalities, and the general public to raise awareness about fair housing rights and responsibilities, local housing policy, affirmatively furthering fair housing, and building inclusive and affordable communities. This position will be part of CVOEO’s statewide Housing Advocacy Programs team, which includes Vermont Tenants and the Mobile Home Program. The Community Organizer will also assist with outreach and education projects, including a new Statewide Library Partnership and Data Collection Initiative.
We are incredibly eager to grow our team, especially during a time when housing is so critical. Community engagement around the complications of housing – building more housing, housing retention, housing equity and accessible housing- requires a sincere effort to connect municipalities and the general public to the tools they need to advocate for their community’s needs.
