Imagine Art Human Resource Specialist VISTA

Imagine Art’s mission is to leverage art and place; empowering artists with disabilities who become creative catalysts for changing systems of day habilitation; long-term care, peer support, and affordable housing. Live + Make is a mixed use, affordable housing project, anchored in the arts, targeting artists and individuals with and without disabilities. Live + Make uniquely embraces a creative placemaking approach that leverages the arts to serve the community’s interests while spearheading broader social justice goals to creatively intersect housing, long-term care, job readiness and food security. The AmeriCorps member serving in the Imagine Art Human Resource Specialist VISTA role will serve to provide capacity building support to integrate Imagine Art’s Long-term care program into the Live+Make initiative. This capacity building role supports the provision of human resources through the development of a department that supports the long-term care client population served by Imagine Art –persons with disabilities who are living throughout Texas and considered in poverty with average annual resources under $10k per year, who are at a higher risk for institutionalization, housing displacement, hunger, unemployment and challenges in accessing community-based resources.
