2. Elevating social and community wellbeing – we work to improve the safety, welfare and wellbeing of our residents by engaging with them on a personal level and gaining their trust. We play a significant role in facilitating community engagement and resilience, working in close collaboration with local organizations, charities, and law enforcement units. Over the years, we have gained expertise in distressed neighborhood revitalization including crime rate reduction, and improvements can be seen even months following our entry into the neighborhood. Another integral component of our work is creating employment opportunities for our residents and for other underserved populations. Therefore, we offer professional training and hire residents of our properties and individuals of other underprivileged groups, such as veteran and ex-convicts. By combining these two efforts, we fundamentally transform neglected neighborhoods into thriving family-oriented communities while also increasing property value.
