HOME has a program that allows apartment owners and managers to try accepting Housing Choice Vouchers in a more controlled environment. HOME's Move to Opportunity program prescreens HCV recipients and provides training on how to be an excellent resident. HOME also acts as a resource to apartment management should you need help communicating with the Housing Authority or your resident. This is a wonderful way to not only rent an apartment but to help a family in need.

We work in a customer service business where people are our purpose. We rely on a team of individuals to work together towards a common goal and in order to be successful, we need other people. It is easy to get frustrated and discouraged when we interact with difficult people on a daily basis. Whether you are working to provide stellar customer service or just trying to get through the day without ramming your head through a door, our industry revolves around people: the people we work for, the people we serve, the people we lead. By having a greater understanding of the individuals we come in contact with and being better equipped to maneuver difficult situations, life truly can be easy!
