Store Marketing Coordinator Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville (“Habitat”) is a cutting-edge non-profit housing and community development organization creating simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with low-income families, volunteers, and the communities of the Greater Charlottesville region. We are advocates, promoting innovations and policy solutions designed to increase the affordable housing supply across the communities we serve. Home construction capacity is multiplied by a volunteer labor force including homeowner families, corporate, civics, and faith groups. Habitat is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International (“HFHI”), a global ministry working to end housing poverty worldwide.

In 2013, Habitat completed construction at Sunrise, the first trailer park transformation in the nation without resident displacement. Currently, Habitat is redeveloping the Southwood Mobile Home Park with similar objectives. Southwood is the area’s largest single concentration of affordable housing and its greatest remaining redevelopment opportunity. When complete, the redeveloped Southwood will be unprecedented in scale nationally. Habitat has also partnered with the Piedmont Housing Alliance and the City of Charlottesville to purchase the Carlton Mobile Home Park. In the short term, our plan is to manage the park responsibly while helping residents develop the collective capacity to be leaders in the eventual redevelopment of the property into a mixed-income community without resident displacement.

Habitat is a national pioneer in mixed-income community development. To date, Habitat has contributed to 12 mixed-income neighborhoods and built and sold almost 400 homes.
