Marketing Plan for Units Which Conform to
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
This Marketing Plan for Units Which Conform to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (the MarketingPlan) has been designed to convey to current and potential residents with disabilities that WashingtonCourt Apartments will be a new rental housing experience, with a commitment to excellent managementand resident service, as well as an expectation of resident responsibility. Therefore, the majority of this planwill address ways in which property management will endeavor to secure qualified tenants, ensure qualitytenancy, and effective management and maintenance of the property.
The Management Agent will be responsible for the management of Washington Court Apartments. GEMManagement Inc. (GEM), the Management Agent, will be responsible for all of the traditional managementfunctions, including rent collection, maintenance, record keeping, reports, development of budgets, andmonitoring resident income qualifications. Additionally, GEM will be responsible for the development andmanagement of community and resident services program.
I. Affirmative Marketing
GEM is pledged to the letter and the spirit of the U.S. policy of the achievement of equal housingopportunity throughout the Nation and will actively promote fair housing in the development andmarketing of this project. GEM, its Officers, Directors and employees will not discriminate on the basis ofrace, creed, color, sex, religion, familial status, elderliness, disability or sexual orientation in its programsor housing. They will also comply with all provisions of the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3600, et. Seq.).
Any employee who has discriminated in the acceptance of a resident will be subject to immediatedismissal. All persons who contact the office will be treated impartially and equally with the only
qualification necessary for application acceptance being income and credit, and conformity with therequirements of the Section 8 Program and Tax Credit programs. All interested parties will be provided acopy of the apartment brochure. Any resident who has questions not answered by the housing staff will bereferred to the Regional Director or the Director Property Management of GEM Management.
Any unit which is designated as a unit for people with disabilities and that conforms to Section 504 of theRehabilitation Act will be held vacant for sixty day (60). GEM Management will document its marketingefforts to find households with qualified disabilities. If a qualified tenant is not found, the marketingevidence will be submitted to VHDA. VHDA may then allow the property management company to acceptapplicants that are qualified households that agree to sign a waiver stating that they agree to move to thenext available unit should a qualified 504 tenant apply.
II. Marketing and Outreach
Locating people with disabilities to occupy the units which conform to the requirements of Section 504 ofthe Rehabilitation Act will be accomplished as follows:
1. Networking
GEM Management will contact local centers for independent living and disability services boards and otherservice organizations via phone and printed communication. The contacts will include the followingorganizations:
-

Department of Rehabilitative Services (276) 676-5565 Virginia Senior Navigator (804) 525-7728 People Incorporated of Southwest VA (276) 623-9000 Virginia Board for People with Disabilities (804-786-0016) Virginia Vocational and Rehabilitation Agency (804-662-7000) Centers for Independent Living
- Disability Resource Center (540-373-2559)- Access Independence (540-662-4452)
Virginia Rehab Association (804-662-7075)
2. Print Media
Print media sources will also be identified in the Town of Abingdon / Washington County area that cater topeople with disabilities as well as the public at large. These sources may include, but are not limited to,rental magazines such as the Apartment Shoppers Guide, Apartments For Rent, local newspapers, etc.. Alladvertising materials related to the project will contain the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype, slogan orstatement, in compliance with the Fair Housing Act, as well as the fact the units for people with disabilitiesare available.
3. Resident Referrals
An effective Resident Referral program will be set up, in which current residents are rewarded for referringfriends, coworkers, and others who may have disabilities to the property. These referrals are generally thebest form of advertising as it attracts friends who will want to reside together, thus binding the community.Residents will be offered incentives, to be determined, for referring qualified applicants who rent at
the property. Flyers will be distributed to residents along with the project newsletter announcing thetenant referral program.
4. Marketing Materials
Additional marketing materials are needed in order to further support the specific marketing effort topeople with disabilities. All printed marketing materials will include the EHO logo. The marketing willalso emphasize the physical and administrative compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act.
These marketing materials include:
Brochures A simple, two color brochures can be produced at low cost which will effectivelysell the apartments and community. This brochure will include the floor plans, a listing of featuresand amenities. The floor plans should be printed in as large a format as possible.
Flyers - As mentioned earlier, a flyer campaign can be used effectively to market thecommunity. Each flyer should incorporate graphics as well as a small amount of copy and shouldbe designed to generate traffic.

Resident Referral - The least expensive form of advertising is through Resident Referrals. Aflyer should be created and distributed to all residents. ($50 per referral, paid upon move in). Inaddition to being distributed to all residents, the referral flyer should be left in the Managementoffice and should be included in the move in packet. (People are most inclined to refer theirfriends in the first few weeks of their tenancy.) The flyers should be changed several times eachyear to reflect the season or any type of special referral program.
III. Public and Community Relations
Equal Housing Opportunity promotions - all Site Signage containing the EHO logo and Fair Housing
posters are displayed in English and Spanish in the Rental Office. GEM Management encourages and
supports an affirmative marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of
race, color, religion, national origin, sex, elderliness, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation,
family responsibilities, physical or mental handicap, political affiliation, source of income, or place of
residence or business.
Additionally, a public relations program will be instituted to create a strong relationship between
management and local disability organizations, neighborhood civic organizations, churches, mosques, andsynagogues, city officials, and other sources of potential qualified residents still to be identified.
IV. Tenant Selection and Orientation
The first contact with the management operations is an important one in attracting qualified residents;therefore the management/leasing offices should convey a sense of professionalism, efficiency, andcleanliness. The management/leasing office is designed to provide a professional leasing atmosphere, withspace set aside specifically for resident interviews and application assistance. The leasing interviews will beused to emphasize the respect afforded to the resident and the responsibilities which the resident will beexpected to assume.

As stated before, the processing will include a review of prior landlord references, personalreferences, criminal/sex offender and credit reporting and income verification. The on-site staff will makefurther review for inaccuracies in the application.
The annual income and family composition are the key factors for determining eligibility. However, theProperty Manager will also use the following criteria in selecting applicants for occupancy:
Applicants must be individuals, not agencies or groups. Applicants must meet the current eligibility income limits for tax credits and any other program
requirements.
Note- If the applicant's denial is based upon a credit report, the applicant will be advised of thesource of the credit report in accordance with the Federal Fair Reporting Act.

The credit report will not beshown to the applicant, nor will specific information be revealed.
We process the Rental Applications through a credit bureau to determine the credit worthiness ofeach applicant. If the score is below your threshold, but you have determined the applicant has nobad credit and no negative rental history and no criminal history and enough income to qualify,then you can conditionally approve the application after you have contacted the prior landlord. Inthese cases, the application must be reviewed by the Associate Director before final approval.
We process the Rental Application through a credit bureau to determine any possible criminalconduct. Convictions will be considered, regardless of whether "adjudication" was withheld. Acriminal background check will be used as part of the qualifying criteria. An applicant willautomatically be denied if;

There is evidence in the criminal history that reveals that the applicant has developed apattern of criminal behavior, and such behavior presents a real or potential threat to
residents and/or property.
The application will be suspended if an applicant or member of the applicant's family hasbeen arrested for a crime but has not yet been tried. The application will be reconsidered,
within the above guidelines, after such legal proceedings have been concluded.
