Their achievements have been extraordinary. VISTAs have helped create job training programs. health clinics. battered womens shelters. food pantries. homeless shelters and permanent lowincome housing. literacy programs and legal services centers. They have worked with native Americans. migrant farmworkers. people with disabilities. immigrants. the very young and the very old. and other disadvantaged Americans to help enable them to become more selfreliant. Each VISTA volunteer costs the Federal Government about $8.000 but each VISTA project mobilizes a median of $54.600 in new funds and services that otherwise would not have been available. VISTA. in other words. more than pays for itself.
