Why Are Our Rent Prices So Affordable?
Our affordability stems from a simple principle: the owner is dedicated to supporting the community rather than prioritizing profit. This business was founded two years ago with the mission of helping renters by providing affordable housing, even if it meant taking a financial loss.
From 2023 to the present, the total amount the owner has personally contributed to support renters stands at $71,000. Understanding the challenges many face, the owner has made it a priority to give back to the community by offering significant discounts on rent.
Each month, the owner contributes over $2,500 of personal funds, allowing renters to pay only a fraction of the market rate for a room. This approach ensures that more people can access safe and affordable housing during difficult times.
By prioritizing compassion over profit, we strive to make a real difference in our community.
