Who Are RScs?
Resident Service Coordinators (RSCs) are professionals who serve older adults, persons with disabilities, families, and youth in both public housing and privately owned/managed affordable housing communities throughout the country.
Resident service coordination is essential to a healthy and vibrant affordable housing community and contributes substantially to the well-being of residents and successful management of the property.
Professional RSCs fulfill a variety of functions including (but not limited to):
-
Coordinating service-delivery through partnerships with community agencies, so that residents can live with independence and dignity;
-
Linking residents to social service intervention and support, to achieve and maintain successful tenancy;
-
Maximizing resident well-being and quality of life through coordination of onsite health and wellness programs;
-
Facilitating youth and family education and enrichment programs to build a sense of community and promote resident self-sufficiency;
-
Promoting healthy resident interaction and creating opportunities for resident leadership and community engagement.
NERSC is proudly committed to providing high-quality training and professional development for RSCs and affordable housing professionals in New England and beyond.
