Abstract:
The Richmond Jewish Family Services (JFS) and a for-profit owner of multi-family real estate have developed a partnership to provide a full range of supportive social services to the apartment tenants. In addition to improving the lives of those tenants, this social investment has had economic benefits for the real estate company—increased occupancy rates, less vandalism, and decreased tenant turnover. For JFS, this venture has provided an excellent opportunity to contribute to the healing of the social fabric of the Richmond community.
