By 2000, Reba Place
Fellowship had the opportunity to extend the ministry of affordable housing
into the Rogers Park neighborhood by partnering with their sister congregation,
LivingWaterCommunityChurch.The need for affordable
housing in Rogers Park became the catalyst to purchase property, and Reunion
Property Management was formed to oversee its service to the neighborhood.
In
addition to property management services, Reunion Property Management provides
project management services, property inspection services, janitorial and
maintenance services, and snow removal services, including plowing.These services have provided common work
opportunities for community members as well as jobs for people seeking
employment in the neighborhood.
Reunion
Property Management focuses on three areas of management.The first is working with the owners and directors of non-profit associations,
defining goals, determining priorities, and enacting policies on behalf of the
welfare of the entire property.The
second is financial management of
the properties income and expenses through vendor management, collecting
monthly assessments, paying bills, and reporting this activity to the officers
of the association.The third area of
management is focused upon the physical
property.This includes determining
preventative maintenance schedules and procedures as well as arranging for and
supervising response maintenance and routine maintenance, including janitorial
and landscaping maintenance.
Reunion
Property Management serves Edgewater, Evanston and Rogers Park.RPM manages commercial and residential
properties.Residential properties
include RPF buildings, condominium associations, and privately owned rental
properties.Rental properties at present
