July ended with mass move-outs across Homestead U, and the official kick-off of 2020 turns!  In student housing, this is a 3-week grind to prepare for the next wave of incoming residents.  For HU, it's the culmination of 10 months of hard work, preparation, and dedication to our communities.  Turn represents the epitome of teamwork and leadership and sets the tone for move-in day and the upcoming renewal and leasing season.  

With COVID presenting extra challenges for this year's leasing season, it has also pushed our team to think creatively and strategically.   It's also created an opportunity to streamline aspects of our operations, which will definitely be a part of our "new normal" moving forward.

"While this year has certainly been a challenging one,  it's also magnified the strength and resilience of our onsite team members across the organization.  I'm so proud of how our team has adapted to this ever-changing environment and the resulting streamlining and efficiencies in our operations.  One great example: express move-ins!  While necessitated by COVID,  I think this will set the standard for student housing move-ins and the resident experience going forward. " - Laura Formica, Vice President of Operations

Thank you to our student housing teams for working so hard during this year's turn!  We're sending you lots of good luck wishes and positive vibes for an awesome 2020 move in!
