We are excited to announce that on December 4, 2024, Riverstone Crossing at the Neuse had its Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting.

Join us in congratulating White Oak resident Jemiah Davidson for receiving the Gordon L. Blackwell Scholarship!  The Gordon L. Blackwell is one of seven scholarships currently offered through the CARH Scholarship Foundation. These sought after scholarships provide exceptional students residing in CARH-member properties financial support while they continue pursuing educational opportunities.  Upon receiving their scholarship, recipients are asked to present a speech at the Annual CARH meeting in Washington, DC.  Below you’ll find an excerpt from Jemiah’s speech as well as two excerpts from her references.

 

Excerpts of what Jemiah had to say:
“Affordable housing offers stability, it gave my mother peace of mind to pursue better job opportunities and provide a nurturing environment for my brother and I. It plays a vital role in fostering strong sense of community. When people from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses are able to live together, it creates an inclusive environment where neighbors support and uplift one another…Together, let’s advocate for affordable housing as an essential element of building vibrant and resilient neighborhoods for generations to come.”

Excerpts from what Jemiah’s references had to say:
“It was immediately apparent to me that [Jemiah] is intelligent, enthusiastic, responsible, and dedicated… Her commitment and self motivation are qualities that I believe will help her on her path to achieve her goals personally and professionally… It is my opinion that she embodies the highest standards of excellence that we strive for both at Brinson Honors College and Western Carolina University.” ~ Colin Townsend, Honors Advisor

“I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Jemiah on various projects within my organization… Her contributions have consistently been of the utmost quality, and she has proven herself to be a valuable asset in every area to which she has been assigned… Her outstanding character, determination, and academic potential make her an ideal candidate for support. I am confident that she will continue to make significant contributions and achieve success in her future endeavors.”  ~ Wesley Terril, CEO/Founder of Professional Global Partners

 

Jemiah graduated high school with honors in 2023 and is currently pursuing a degree in Forensic Anthropology at Western Carolina University.  We wish Jemiah the best as she continues to pursue her education and make the world a better place!

We can’t wait to continue to offer the residents of Kirkwood Grove the best Property Management services so they can continue to call Kirkwood Grove home.

Thank you, Eliza Haynes, who organized our group participation and placed second in her age group!

Springfield Park Apartments received a $239,000 loan from the Workforce Housing Loan Program on March 10, 2023 to counter cost increases, supply chain disruptions and labor shortage challenges faced during construction due to the pandemic.  Springfield Park Apartments opened when many Jacksonville residents were facing large rent increases; with nearly 50% of families renting in the area spending more than 30% of their monthly income on housing.  Springfield Apartments offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging in price from $321 to $740 per month. 

Partnership Property Management leased the first unit at Springfield Park on May 25, 2022 and signed the last lease to complete the lease up on October 14, 2022. Our team was able to lease up the site in just over 4 months while meeting multiple deadlines along the way.  We would like to recognize Site Manager Loren Kirk, Maintenance Caretaker Rich Blaire, Senior Regional Property Manager Kelly Searcy, Director Lacy Bratton and Compliance Specialist Lisa Carter for working diligently to make this Rent Up a huge success!  A sister site, Crestfield Point,  is currently underway right next door and will provide an additional 72 units for families in Onslow County.

Tammy and Rob toasted another successful software conversion–their second since being with Partnership Property Management!

We began the process of onboarding properties onto ResMan in April 2021 with our 15 HUD properties, followed by our 81 Conventional and Tax Credit properties broken down into three groups.  Then we began collaborating with ResMan to enhance their Rural Development product and were thrilled to be the first management company to utilize this software with our 82 straight RD properties.  The last phase of onboarding included our 98 RD/TC layered properties.  Now that all 276 of our RD, TC, HUD, Conventional, and layered properties are live in ResMan, we’re excited to hit the ground running and learn new ways to optimize our management process and continue to provide the best management services for our property owners and residents.

We want to extend our gratitude to the ResMan conversion and customer service teams. Their outstanding support during this process was invaluable.

Lastly, we want to thank our dedicated corporate and field employees who continue to make this transition a huge success.  

This conversion process has been an excellent reminder that “the right PARTNERSHIP” can make it happen!
