Who we train
Training for nonprofit building managers
Building managers at shelters, supportive housing, and nonprofit-run apartments are responsible for the people and the property at once. We train building managers to keep a site safe, respond to emergencies, communicate with residents who are struggling, and work alongside case management and security as one team.
What nonprofit building managers are up against
- Keeping the building safe without making it feel like a lockdown
- Responding to emergencies and knowing exactly who to call
- Talking with residents in distress about rules, repairs, and neighbors
- Coordinating with case managers, security, and outside responders
