AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) members are individuals who service in organizations to eradicate poverty in the United States. Members service at different organizations and bring forth their skills and talent to said organizations. In the Capital Region, VISTA members can choose to serve their year with the Siena College AmeriCorps VISTA Fellows program. South End Improvement Corporation is a proud partner organization of Siena College and AmeriCorps.
VISTA House is a housing property owned by SEIC that provides an affordable housing option to VISTAS when serving in the Capital Region. These college graduates work hard to support the Capital Region, so lets SUPPORT THEM TOO!
VISTAs are typically newly graduated college students, have little to no rental history or credit, and receive minimal compensation while employed through the program, which are all barriers when applying for housing. Our goal at SEIC is to provide adequate, safe, and affordable housing for VISTA members working within the South End neighborhood of Albany, and nearby areas.
