HELP Development Corp.

I had a chance to visit The Hardy Williams Veterans Center at HELP Philadelphia IV today in SW Philadelphia. We opened this senior building, which has a set-aside for formerly homeless veterans, back in 2015. I love visiting our properties because it reminds me why we do what we do, which these days can be very challenging. I also love to see the doors and how people decorate them. I learned that a particular tenant is a real green thumb and has set up and cares for plants all over the building. Such a beautiful community.

If you would like to take a break from election anxiety here is a Podcast that our President did with the National Coalition of Homeless Veterans related to the HELP Perry Point Veterans Village in Cecil County, MD. HELPDecCo is working with its partners at the state and VA to do a second phase of this important housing so stay tuned for updates.

HELP built its first affordable housing community in Philadelphia in 1997. Known as Genesis Square Apartments, the complex has 40 three-bedroom homes that have been operating since then. We are currently renovating the complex to make numerous upgrades to ensure long-term affordability. The first of those apartments came back online last week. Here are a couple of pictures.

Our VP of Development,?Dan Montanaro,?sent this picture today of the ongoing construction of HELP ONE Building C - 77 units for families and those with supportive housing needs. He was standing on Building B's roof. You can also see at the top of the picture Genesis Homes, 150 family units with a large courtyard, and at the top right Genesis Neighborhood Plaza I and II - together 150 units of family and supportive housing for homeless veterans. Once the 4 HELP ONE buildings are complete, we will have 872 affordable apartments in a three-block area in East New York.

We are looking to expand our small shop of affordable housers. We are currently seeking: - Senior Accountant to work with our development company and our third party property management company. - Director of Permanent Housing Facilities and Construction to work in Assett Management and Construction monitoring. - Affordable Housing Development Project Manager. This would be an entry into the wonderful world of financing and building affordable housing in several states and cities. Please feel free to reach out directly to me. We will post these soon in the usual spaces.
