In
2007 we began to renovate 34 units on the corner of
N 4th St & 8th Ave in Columbus, OH. To say the least,
this is a very tough neighborhood. We participated in
Stop the Killing rallies. We were in frequent communication
with the police from this neighborhood. This effort
was our first re-entry into property renovation in some
time. Many years ago we renovated other units as part
of a residential treatment program and a work training
program.
We provided
transitional housing for motivated individuals. We helped
ex-offenders, homeless individuals with some source
of income and others. We provided work experience, job
search and housing. If somone had no job, they could
earn a place to stay by working 75 hours each month
through our Work for Rent program. They were expected
to earn at least their first month's rent before moving
in. A waiting list was in place for motivated individuals
seeking work and a place to live.They participated in
our tenant's council, making decisions about sanitation,
security, building the community, helping other participants
find jobs and taking steps to change lives. They signed
a comprehensive Work for Rent lease and could be locked
out if they didn't actually earn their keep.
We are currently
looking for accredited investors (click
the link below) and cosigners to enable us to
acquire property to continue this program. In the future
we anticipate registering certain security offerings
and providing investment opportunities to the public.
At this point we will only talk to accredited investors
about investing in our unregistered investment opportunity.
