CREATING BETTER COMMUNITIES PET FRIENDLY ECHO works with landlords to implement policies and modifications that make properties more accommodating to pet owners. MAKE EVERY FAMILY MEMBER FEEL AT HOME

Partnered Properties

ECHO is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents in affordable housing communities that partner with us. Our property programs are available exclusively to these properties, funding permitted. We aim to create thriving, sustainable environments that offer more than just a place to live—they provide resources and amenities that enrich daily life.

Power of Information

Resource Centers

The Resource Center serves as a dedicated space where residents can access essential support services and learning opportunities. From financial literacy workshops and employment assistance to tenant advocacy and case management, this hub provides tools to help individuals achieve stability and independence. Residents can also connect with service providers offering mental health support, legal aid, and educational programs. By centralizing resources, ECHO ensures that tenants have the support they need to thrive in their housing communities.
Staying Connected

Free Landline Service

Reliable communication is essential, especially for seniors and individuals with disabilities who may need quick access to emergency services. ECHO ensures that residents in its partnered properties have access to free landline services, keeping them connected to essential resources and loved ones. This service provides peace of mind, particularly for those who may not have access to mobile phones or internet-based communication. By offering free landlines, ECHO helps eliminate barriers to connectivity and safety.
Accessing the World

Free Wi-Fi

Access to the internet is crucial for work, education, and staying informed. ECHO provides free WiFi at partnered affordable housing properties, ensuring residents have the connectivity they need for job searches, online learning, telehealth services, and staying in touch with family and friends. This initiative helps bridge the digital divide, particularly for those who may not afford high-speed internet. By prioritizing digital access, ECHO empowers residents with opportunities for growth and stability.
Making A Home for Everyone

Pet Friendly Properties

ECHO believes that pets are part of the family and works with landlords to create more pet-friendly housing options. Through policy adjustments and modifications, ECHO helps ensure that residents do not have to choose between a safe home and keeping their beloved pets. This initiative includes designated pet-friendly units, access to pet relief areas, and advocacy for reasonable pet policies. By supporting pet-friendly properties, ECHO promotes emotional well-being and stability for tenants with pets.
Growing Fruitful Resources

Community Garden

Residents can participate in gardening initiatives that promote sustainable living and a sense of community. These gardens provide fresh produce, offering tenants access to healthier food options while reducing grocery expenses. Gardening also serves as a therapeutic activity, fostering social connections among neighbors. ECHO supports these initiatives by providing resources and guidance to help residents maintain thriving gardens.
