PROPERTY NAVIGATION OPEN DOORS IS CONSTANTLY SEEKING FUNDING FOR OUR PROPERTY NAVIGATION PROGRAMMING. THIS PROGRAM IS VITAL TO OPEN DOORS AS THIS IS THE FRONT-LINE PROGRAM THAT RECRUITS AND MAINTAINS PROPERTIES AND MANAGEMENT COMPANIES FOR THE OPEN DOORS PORTFOLIO. THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT OF THE ATLANTA'S MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING IS VERY LOW VACANCY RATES WITH HIGH OWNERSHIP TURNOVER. IN THIS CHALLENGING MARKET, OPEN DOORS HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AND EXPAND DUE TO OUR PROPERTY NAVIGATION EFFORTS. OUR PROPERTY NAVIGATION TEAM WORKS WITH PARTICIPATING PROPERTY OWNERS, MANAGEMENT COMPANIES AS WELL AS OUR OVER 80 NON-PROFIT COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS. DESPITE THE CHALLENGES OF THE MARKET OPEN DOORS CONTINUES TO EXPAND OUR PROPERTY OFFERINGS FROM 175 COMMUNITIES TO OVER 250 COMMUNITIES.

TOWARDS THIS, THE PROPERTY NAVIGATION PROGRAMMING AND TEAM IS KEY TO OUR CITY'S FUTURE SUCCESS.
TECHNOLOGYOPEN DOORS SHOWCASES OUR LARGE PORTFOLIO OF AVAILABLE AND AFFORDABLE RENTAL UNITS THROUGH GROUNDBREAKING WEB AND MOBILE APPLICATIONS. BEFORE THESE TOOLS WERE AVAILABLE, OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS WERE OFTEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING VACANT UNITS, EXPERIENCED FREQUENT RENTAL APPLICATION DENIALS, AND HAD TO NAVIGATE A COMPLEX REAL ESTATE LANDSCAPE OVER SEVERAL MONTHS WITH MARGINAL SUCCESS. WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, OUR PARTNERS REPORT FINDING AVAILABLE UNITS AND OBTAINING APPROVALS IN UNDER FOUR WEEKS ON AVERAGE. WE DO THE "HEAVY-LIFTING" OF FINDING THE VACANT UNITS ENABLING IS TO GET OUR PARTNERS AND THEIR CLIENTS CONNECTED TO PROPERTIES WITH VACANCIES QUICKLY. BY WORKING WITH OUR TOP DOWN APPROACH, WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH MANAGEMENT COMPANIES AND PROPERTY OWNERS TO WIN APPROVALS FOR HOUSEHOLDS WITH SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS, SUCH AS CRIMINAL HISTORIES, POOR CREDIT, AND PRIOR EVICTIONS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THROUGH OUR TECHNOLOGY OUR CLIENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE TREATED LIKE AVERAGE CONSUMERS FROM GETTING TO PICK THE LOCATION THAT KEEPS THEIR KIDS IN THEIR HOME SCHOOL TO THE AMENITIES THAT SUIT THEIR NEEDS BEST, OPEN DOORS CLIENTS GET TO FEEL WELCOMED HOME.
