LISC LA's Housing Initiative Program (LA-HIP) was created to build the capacity of our local affordable housing field by investing in the next generation of practitioners, advocates, and leaders. LISC LA implements LA-HIP as an AmeriCorps summer opportunity to introduce emerging and experienced leaders to the field of community development while providing our local partner organizations a talent pipeline to accomplish key programmatic goals.
We are committed to growing the capacity of our AmeriCorps members by providing professional development and three comprehensive training days from our signature Housing Development Training Institute curriculum. LA-HIP AmeriCorps will be placed with one of our affordable housing partner organizations for 35 hrs/wk from June 1st, 2020 to September 30th, 2020 for a full 450 hours.
LISC LA does the outreach, matching, and onboarding of members into the AmeriCorps program. We also invite AmeriCorps to events such as SCANPH's Annual Conference in addition to LISC's 3 days of professional development training.
