<p>CMHA VISTA Leader</p> <p>The RISE Center is a centralized hub of collaborative services designed to connect Franklin County residents to valuable resources-empowering them to identify, pursue, and achieve their goals. As the nonprofit arm of Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), we strive to raise the standard of quality for supportive services available to residents living in affordable housing. CMHA is a public housing authority serving Franklin County, Ohio and is known nationally as one of the most innovative affordable housing developers in the country. CMHA's mission is to help people access affordable housing through collaborative partnerships to develop, renovate, and maintain housing; promote neighborhood revitalization; and assist residents in accessing needed social services. In addition to administering Section 8 subsidized housing programs, CMHA also owns and operates over 40 housing communities in Central Ohio. In total, CMHA serves over 13,000 households and 33,000 individual residents in Franklin County. Though The RISE Center serves all Franklin County residents, our specific focus is on households that receive a rental subsidy from CMHA. Through partnerships with various community-based organizations, The RISE Center coordinates a broad range of programs designed to support Franklin County residents' housing stability, educational attainment, health and wellbeing, employment outlook, and personal development. VISTA Leaders serving with The RISE Center will assist with the coordination of The RISE Center VISTA project, which places 14 members at organizations we partner with throughout Central Ohio. All projects share the common goal of increasing The RISE Center's ability to serve more residents and provide expanded services. VISTA Leaders will support the success of these projects by ensuring members have the resources they need to achieve their project's goals.
