Why Arizona?

Arizona is home to me now. I was raised in a small village in northwest Ohio with limited resources within a 55-mile radius. Employment opportunities moved me to Tempe, AZ in 2014. Needless to say, I’m never looking back, only forward. People are in need of support and I can’t help but empathize. I ask myself, how can I serve Arizona in a way that can create a quality of life for myself and others? Hence, POP Properties AZ.

What can I offer the Arizona community?

I’m an American Dreamer with a confident vision of a realistic plan to help people. Selfishly, I don’t jump into projects without doing my research and risk management analysis. My professional experience and education have prepared me to take on visionary change in business. My innovative ideas are people-conscious with a plan of execution supported by creative problem-solving.

WHY GROUP HOME PROPERTIES?

Group homes have a stigma attached that only degenerates, criminals or nuisance neighbors occupy these residences and bring down the value of your community. This is not correct. Protected classes are defined by the federal government fair housing act to recognize; race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, and disability. So protesting against specific demographics of tenants would be considered discrimination.

Unfortunately, there is a ripened generational mindset that group homes bring in problems. We plan to ‘pop’ that bubble and rebuild this industry to meet the needs and protect the public. POP Properties AZ will not only house these persons but will do so with consideration of placement availability based on person needs compared to available community resources.
