We recently hosted our annual Convening, a space for CORES-certified organizations to come together and learn from each other about innovative ideas and best practices. In one of these sessions, practitioners shared how they have identified opportunities for collaboration across resident services and property management teams. Ceceily Brickley, Director of Resident Success at Gene B. Glick Company, discussed the importance of creating shared accountability to resident outcomes across staff roles as well as promoting a culture of teamwork through building genuine relationships and cross-team initiatives. Practitioners also highlighted the importance of cross-training staff and equipping resident services teams with data to track and proactively support the housing stability of residents.

Don't forget to register for this Thursday's webinar: https://lnkd.in/gch2svDC Join us as we explore commonly used resident services data systems and discuss considerations for selecting a data system that best fits your organization's needs!

This fall, CORES hosted our annual Convening, a space for CORES-certified organizations to come together and learn from each other about innovative ideas and best practices. In one session, several practitioners shared how they are testing and scaling a range of different resident-led initiatives. Raisa Johnson, Managing Director of Community Outreach and Impact, shared how National Housing Trust has developed opportunities for residents to create community-owned programming and inform organizational strategies, such as equitable electrification and decarbonization initiatives.

Each year we host our annual Convening, a space for CORES-certified organizations to come together and learn from each other about innovative ideas and best practices. This year, our session on measuring resident satisfaction, agency, and voice explored how practitioners are tracking and measuring resident experience and why this is critical to the work. With support from RWJF, Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF) developed an updated guide which outlines four foundational measures of resident voice and agency. You can access the full guide here: https://lnkd.in/eHZxYvNV

As you expand resident services and programs, a data system is key to understanding your impact. The best data system is one that meets your unique needs – there is no one size fits all approach! SAHF published an updated guide to provide a starting place for those investing in a data system for the first time, or finding a system that better aligns with their current programs and future growth. On Thursday, Dec 12 from 2-3:30 PM ET, join us for a webinar where we’ll preview this updated guide! You will also hear from practitioners at True Ground Housing Partners, POAH Communities, and National Housing Trust about the data systems they have used to track resident services and their experiences.
