Social Services Goal:

 

Reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of underserved populations in our Apartment Communities by integrating social service programs that meet the needs of our tenants,  through education, health services and social connections , all while providing safe and affordable residences.

​

Methodology:

 

Services provided are based on population need.  Assessing local needs requires using demographic analysis, interviews, public forums, surveys, and community asset mapping.  Once needs and resources are established, Step Forward Communities works with local non-profits, community leaders, religious organizations, volunteers and other organizations to offer direct services to meet the identified needs.  Once a program is in place, continual evaluation of the program’s impact will be conducted to ensure the identified need is being successfully met.
