Why is there an Urgent need for Low Income Housing?
There is an urgent need for housing for low income families, making your apartments in need of a gentrification a "Financial Goldmine!" How desperate is that need? Please click on the following website to view vivid pictures of over 30,000 people standing in line for application for housing in Georgia. Reference: Schneider, C. (2010, August 11). Housing crises reaches full boil in East Point; 62 injured. ajc. Retrieved from http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/housing-crises-reaches-full589653.html
Are there available housing that could accommodate such families?
There were apartments for sale in Memphis, Tennessee with 224 units that were selling for $2,200,000 in 2008. Due to the present state of the economy they went down in 2009 to $1,500,000. In 2010 they are presently selling for only $700,000! Imagine the income these can produce per month! These apartments could provide decent housing for 224 families in need like the example in Georgia. Situations like this are taking place all over the country.
The problem is how to connect the low income families needing housing to the apartment owners needing tenants
Low income families receiving section 8 or other forms of government subsidy could pay rent to apartment owners helping them to receive a steady ROI, 100% occupancy and a waiting list. Yet these families want decent housing free of life threatening health, safety ans sanitation issues. While at the same time the owners needing money want to know their properties are taken care of. This shows that both parties has something the other one needs. What will it take to bring about such changes to help these parties work together so EVERYBODY WINS?
A Gentrification of apartments without relocation of tenants
A gentrfication of apartments is needed as well as a change in the lives and attitude of the low income families. As a result, improvement needs to be made to the physical structure of the apartments, while at the same time helping the low income tenants or families make drastic life changes so that they can develop the dignity, self respect, determination, and motivation to obtain a GED and college degree online while learning to respect self, family, neighbor and property, the apartment complex.
LIFES non profit organization designed an online school to train apartment owners, their managemet/maintenace team and their tenants to show them why they should work together as a unit to eradicate poverty in their small community. In conclusion, as all work together to support one another as a village...
Everybody wins!!!
