Homes for All AmeriCorps Program

Homes for All AmeriCorps Program

Ready for a life-changing year of service helping Kentuckians with their housing? Come join the Homes for All AmeriCorps program starting August 1st! We provide the perfect opportunity to gain real-world experience, develop hard and soft skills, and learn how to positively make a difference in your community. You will work with people experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity, or in search of affordable homeownership opportunities. Members provide services that range from new home construction, home repairs, housing-focused case management, homelessness prevention, rapid rehousing, homeownership counseling, and housing navigation. There is a fit for everyone! All members grow personally and professionally through our trainings, service projects, and community events. If you are a social work or human services student, you can structure your year of service as a (paid!) practicum or internship. We have full-time, 1700-hour positions available. Members receive an annual living allowance of $20,100, as well as health insurance, student loan deferment, and childcare benefits, if eligible. Upon successful completion of the year, 1700-hour members receive an education award totaling $7,395 that can be used for higher education expenses or student loans. All members participate in a 3 day service orientation and training in August, with some additional travel required throughout the year. Expenses associated with any program-sponsored events are covered at no cost to you. For more information on our positions and program, interested applicants should visit our website at
