Member Duties : Driven by high costs, insufficient housing supply, and inadequate resources, the risk of displacement for low income households in Chicago is at an all-time high. CRN’s monthly newsletter, the Network News, is a vehicle to share learnings, local experience, and neighborhood solutions with our coalition of affordable housing developers, managers, and housing providers. Our Communications Associate will standardize our Network News and produce other key communications materials to promote the community development field and solutions for housing stability. In addition to the email newsletter, the VISTA will prepare social media posts, enhance organizational documents, and produce short media clips. They will also support writing and placement of an article on Chicago housing solutions in a national publication. Throughout service, they will build relationships by attending partner events and participating in CRN’s Community Development and Empowerment Series.
