By expanding the workshops and services TRP offers, the Resident Services Coordinator will help increase resident engagement and retention while connecting tenants to the resources needed to maintain stable housing. Alongside the REAS team, the VISTA will coordinate tenant events, activities, and educational presentations, recruit local organizations to host workshops, create marketing materials to promote events, and collect event feedback to assess resident satisfaction and needs.
