WHY SHOULD LANDLORDS
PARTNER WITH
Union station homeless services?
There are many benefits to partnering with our housing programs. One of the biggest benefit is knowing what a huge impact your support will make on your community. Getting people into housing is the most effective solution to our city’s homeless crisis.
Here are 8 more benefits to partnering with our housing programs:
Decrease Vacancy Rates
Because we have a large pool of potential tenants available, we can fill your vacancies swiftly. Additionally, there is low turnover with our potential tenants.
increase profits
By reducing your turnover, you eliminate cleaning costs, repair costs and showing costs plus reduce potential revenue loss while the unit is on the market.
security deposits
Our agency assists tenants with much needed security deposits.
support services
Owners receive 24-hour support services. Each of our tenants is assigned a case manager who is available should problems arise. The case manager is a neutral third party to resolve problems quickly. Case management support is permanent and ongoing.
