Sunday – January 18: there will be panel discussion and update on the Church’s long-time investment in Affordable Housing, RICH Park. Ann Hanson, President of Excel Property Management, the company that manages the 100 RICH Park Units will tell us about the current operations of the property, the challenges management has faced since it took over management of the apartments a few years ago, how management screens tenants and how rents are set and current rent levels. Joining Ann on the panel will be Joyce Gad, the long- time RICH board chair and a representative of the Universalist Fellowship; Peg Huslander, our church’s longest serving member of the RICH Park Board; and Will Rowe, the current RICH Park Board Chair and a representative of First Baptist Church. Will was recently a candidate for Wake County Sheriff.
Sunday – January 25: There will be panel discussion of the status of the church’s latest initiative in Affordable Housing, the seven rental unit purchased last May. The panelists will include John and Phyllis Kitchen of Horizon Management, the company that manages the apartments and house. John and Phyllis will tell us about how they screen potential tenants, collect rent, how rents are set and on-going maintenance issues with rental housing. CCLIHC Board member and Treasurer, Carole Kepler, and Board member Frank Gailor will explain the church’s investment in the corporation, how the property purchase was financed, the current status of the church members’ contributions and loans that made the purchase possible, the current level of income and expenses, and the potential options for raising the funds necessary to pay off the balance of loans made by church members. There will be time for questions and discussion.
