The California Coalition for Rural Housing is currently recruiting for the 2016-2017 Program year, which begins in June 2016 and ends in May 2017. Selected interns are placed at nonprofit housing developers and services providers serving a dire need for habitable affordable housing.
This is a very unique and dynamic internship program for students interested in learning about what it takes to build and finance affordable housing in under served, diverse, rural and emerging areas by using technical, qualitative and business skills in working for social change. We specifically target minority students who come from low-income, rural, American Indian Reservations/Rancherias and/or immigrant backgrounds with a strong commitment to improve the quality of life of low-income communities. This opportunity is open to all majors. Application deadline is May 20, 2016.
