Resident Support Services
Columbus Property Management is proud to have a robust Resident Services program. We believe that property management is about much more than managing apartment buildings. Through our Resident Services programs, we strive to connect with all of our residents on a personal level, recognizing the special challenges they face and providing them with access to services and resources that will allow them to thrive in their communities.
Our approach is multifaceted and aims to assist residents in critical life areas. Through our Health and Wellness Program, we promote and improve wellness and healthy living. With our Youth Enrichment Program, we create a positive place for youth to gain academic enrichment, build healthy relationships and increase socialization skills. Our Community Enrichment programs help to develop and strengthen relationships among residents and the community. We also provide housing stability education to support residents in sustaining quality living standards. Our Education and Employment resources help to improve residents’ educational attainment and work readiness skills which help them to be more productive successful members of their communities. Please scroll down to find out more about the services that are available in your region.
NOTE: Not all services are available at all properties. Please check individual property pages to see what is offered at specific sites.
