"...Two years later, this little agency is managing its own properties, building nine more units in the highest land value environment in Washington, and achieving clear compliance audits repeatedly--none of which would have been possible without the expert direction of Common Ground."

Bill Reddy, Executive Director
Housing Resources Board

   There's more to Common Ground than creating housing. We also help you preserve it.

   HRB was at risk of becoming insolvent when it called upon Common Ground's comprehensive knowledge of property management, financial systems, risk and readiness assessment, business planning, and more. We worked with and trained the staff and Board to help HRB learn how to achieve and maintain HUD compliance.

   With Common Ground's help, HRB not only avoided foreclosure, but now manages and maintains their own units.
