Looking back on the impactful morning our team had with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, packing nearly 3,000 food boxes for families and communities around the city as part of the annual CoreGiving Day. The LA Regional Food Bank has been feeding those around Los Angeles County for 50 years. Learn more about CoreGiving: https://lnkd.in/gT9W2mBZ

We had such a rewarding day volunteering for the fourth annual #CoreGivingDay! It’s amazing to see the impact we can make when we come together to fight hunger and support our local communities. Thank you to Los Angeles Regional Food Bank for welcoming our team.  To learn more about CoreGiving and support children and families in need, visit www.coregiving.org.  #EndHungerTogether #CommunityImpact

CoreGiving Day is here, and we’re thrilled to join forces with more than 3,000 colleagues from Blackstone and 17 other portfolio companies to make a powerful impact in the fight against hunger! Every pallet of food sorted, every meal box packed, and every hour volunteered brings us one step closer to ending hunger in our communities.

We’re making meaningful progress in our work to preserve the affordability of our portfolio, while delivering meaningful upgrades for our residents. This latest project in North Austin will also see us converting 47 apartments from market rate to affordable – benefiting even more families.

At April Housing, we know how important it is to build community within our teams. To celebrate hitting a major milestone last week, our Tax team in Reno spent the afternoon axe throwing. They split up into teams for some friendly competition, blowing off steam and enjoying spending time together outside of the office!

One of the best things about working at April Housing is the focus on professional development, giving teammates opportunities to grow their skills and networks while doing impactful work.   Team members from FP&A, Accounting and Technology have been at the Yardi YASC conference in San Diego this week, joining leaders in the space to hear about industry trends and new innovations.

Our CEO Alice Carr and Head of Preservation Perica Bell are on the cover of the latest Commercial Observer talking about our work preserving the affordability of our portfolio while also delivering improvements that will directly benefit our residents. We’re proud of the recognition our team is getting, but even more proud of the positive impact we’re having in communities across the country.    As Alice says in the piece “There’s so many challenges in it, it’s difficult work. It’s commercial real estate, but with lots of bells and whistles attached. Sometimes that’s fun, sometimes that’s just plain challenging, but it’s so rewarding.”    Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gmHhBc-Y
