trilliumgrlTo start, if anyone is looking for an AmeriCorps job, KCHA still has a few positions open.
The King County Housing Authority AmeriCorps team has two great opportunities for service available in South King County. We are looking for people with a strong commitment to service to work with diverse youth in Auburn and Federal Way. These are a full-time 40 hour per week positions. Applicants must be able to serve from October 16, 2008 through July 15, 2009.
AmeriCorps members receive a monthly stipend of $950, medical insurance and an education award of $4,725 upon successful completion of service.
For more information or to make an appointment for an interview please call Pat Porter at 206.574.1354 or contact by e-mail at patp@kcha.org.
A few articles which caught my eye and/or caused talk around the office in the last week:
First off - Pierce County Housing Authority is declaring bankruptcy. They are a small agency and the mold lawsuits they got from one of their complexes killed them. I will be interested to see what happens to them next.
Next, from New Jersey, there was a huge screw-up when the Atlantic City Housing Authority opened up for Section 8. I truly wonder what they were thinking at several points. Opening for only 150 people? Just calling out names? So. Little. Planning.
Finally, the candidates on housing. Pretty much what I would expect, very thin, the Republicans only seem to care about homeownership and the Democrats don't really have a plan.
