Improving our resident services

We understand some of our services aren’t yet reaching the levels we’d like, or our residents expect. We’re making progress and working closely with residents to ensure we’re continually focused on what matters most to you.

We’ve significantly increased resources in areas such as repairs, maintenance, and complaint handling.
We’ve increased our investment in existing homes and improving energy efficiency.
We’ll have integrated most of our resident facing systems by 2024 and completed full integration by Summer 2025.

You can read more about the specific improvements we’re making to our services below. We’re moving forward together.
