Currently, THN has VISTA members placed throughout the state working on capacity building and program development to assist communities in ending homelessness. This VISTA project will focus on building capacity to support the development of a Coordinated Entry (CE) system to better provide homeless services for Texas communities’ most vulnerable residents.

The VISTA member will assess community capacity regarding all of these initiatives, and organize and participate in the implementation of new and enhanced processes to build capacity for a centralized Coordinated Entry system.
Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's degree. Experience in homeless services, project management, and/or nonprofit organizations.
