Community Benefits & Impact

We believe in the power of community.
For centuries, community has brought humans together, and kept us together. This idea is not lost on us.

We want to make an impact beyond our business, that lasts forever. This is a part of our culture and our commitment as a company. Our founder, Carmela, believes it's important to put others first. Especially those less fortunate than ourselves.

The Neighbourhood currently supports Education CHANCES Foundation. Going forward, we promise to commit $1 a month from every property that we manage towards a CHANCES scholarship. This won't impact our customers but we ask that you join us in our journet, Click here to show your support.
