🏡 Well-managed homes help build stronger, safer neighborhoods. 💪
👨👦👦👩👧👧 In a tight-knit community, limited community resources and reliance on county law enforcement make proactive property care and cooperation especially valuable!
🤝 Property owners and managers have an opportunity to contribute by maintaining homes, staying connected with residents, and addressing concerns before they grow.
📈 Research offers a compelling example:
A randomized study of 121 rental properties in San Diego examined whether working directly with property owners could help reduce existing drug activity and crime.
👮♀️🏢Owners in one group met with police and code enforcement, developed a prevention plan, and performed follow-up to ensure necessary changes were made. According to the National Institute of Justice’s research summary, those properties experienced **a 60% reduction in crime within six months compared with control properties!! ** 🤯 SIXTY PERCENT!!
The study focused on properties with documented drug activity, so its results do not predict outcomes for EVERY rental home in EVERY COMMUNITY, but it DOES, however, illustrate how engaged ownership and coordinated action can contribute to community safety.🫂👐🤗
