Assistance
Our support for ROCs doesn’t end when the ink dries on the purchase paperwork. Our network subject matter experts stay on for at least 10 years, guiding ROCs through all phases of resident ownership, including support in community operations, financial oversight, regulatory compliance and community development.
This holistic approach ensures residents have the expertise and resources needed for long-term stability, control and success in their communities.
