The Housing and Neighborhood Development Department was awarded a Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation Grant called “Love Your Block”. With this funding, HAND can focus on providing cleanup/yard waste removal to neighborhoods! This grant also provides an AmeriCorps VISTA to help with volunteer outreach and recruitment. It is open to anyone to apply but it is a great opportunity for students, as AmeriCorps provides a monthly housing stipend and an education stipend at the end of the two-year commitment! If you know someone looking for a new opportunity and is skilled in volunteer outreach, please direct them to fill out the VISTA position for Reno, Nevada on e-grants.
