Morgan Properties, a supporter of the Apartment Angels since 2012, is providing assistance to four families during that time period and pledging to support a fifth family in 2015.
Participating communities donating their apartments and services include Fox Run Apartments & Townhomes in Bear, William Penn Village in New Castle, Country Village Apartments in Dover and Woodacres & Longview Apartments in Claymont.
The Apartment Angels Program (Apartment Angels THP, Inc.) helps individuals/families in financial need.
Utilizing support and donations from the Delaware Apartment Association (DAA) members, the program will provide six months of free rent to individuals awarded housing through the program.
There is open enrollment twice a year. Individuals awarded housing move into their free apartment in June and December.
Housing is awarded to individuals/families that have a history of being responsible renters, but became victims of the current economic recession through no fault of their own or were dramatically or negatively impacted financially by a one-time, life altering event.
This program is not intended for individuals who have habitual evictions and a history of habitual collection accounts. This program is intended to greatly reduce the “normal” financial burden of housing, so that individuals participating in the program will have time to reposition themselves financially, in the workforce, and with regards to their rental housing history.
