Why CommonBond? <br />Housing is unaffordable for more people: and the availability of affordable housing is a critical issue. <br />■ More high-income earners are renting than ever, and the rental <br />market is adjusting accordingly. <br />■ Supply of affordable housing is aging and shrinking. <br />■ Unstable, unaffordable housing negatively affects mental health, <br />academic achievement, and more. <br />■ Median wages for low to middle income households are not <br />keeping up with rising housing costs. <br />In addition to the lack of places for people with low to moderate incomes to call home, there's little <br />support in place to help residents maintain their stability and achieve their goals. We want to change <br />that. Our model prioritizes resident stability, and through our Advantage Services, we're able <br />to provide programs to support residents in meeting their goals and intervene when someone's <br />stability is at risk. Our Advantage Services programming has 4 main focus areas: <br />HEALTH AND EDUCATION AND STABILITY AND COMMUNITY BUILDING <br />WELLNESS ADVANCEMENT INDEPENDENCE AND ENGAGEMENT <br />Keeping people 56% of students behind grade level made more than <br />stably housed <br />one year's worth of progress in reading= <br />82% of formerly homeless residents maintained <br />is valuable. housing for a year or more. <br />In 2018: 600 residents participated in one or more 'rfealth <br />and Wellness sessions during the year. <br />Our priority is our residents' experience and success. We conduct satisfaction surveys and impact reports <br />regularly, and we're proud of the numbers they return.
