Since its
inception in 2009, Monument Capital & Asset Management has offered
the Hometown Heroes Program in recognition of those prospective
residents who serve the community on a daily basis. Active and
retired military, firefighters, police officers, nurses,
paramedics/EMTs, and teachers receive the benefit of reduced
move-in costs (up to $250*).
*The amount of the discount is
subject to change from community to community. Proof of employment
and/or military/retired military status should be shown at the time
of application for residency. This program is subject to change at
any time and standard qualifying criteria (credit and income
qualifications) still apply.
Monument employees
participate locally in volunteer days at Boys & Girls Clubs across
the Southwest, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United
States. Some activities include visits to local chapters to:
» Host Read-a-thons: Lead small groups in one-day
read-a-thons that promote literacy
» Fitness Challenge Day: Oversee a day full of
obstacle courses and other fitness activities to promote a healthy
and active lifestyle
» Work Days: Participate in improvement projects
at local Boys & Girls Clubs that utilize Monument employees’
professional skills like painting, making repairs and
landscaping
» Appliance Donations: Donate gently-used large
appliances such as refrigerators to the Boys & Girls Clubs, so they
can store lunches and other refreshments for the children they
serve
» School Supply Drives: Organize drives for
residents and employees to gather needed supplies before school
starts in the fall. The supplies are donated to local Boys & Girls
Clubs for distribution to low-income students.
» Bike Builds: Assemble bikes as a team and donate
to local Boys & Girls Clubs
For this initiative, residents and Monument Real Estate Services staff join together to bring much needed cheer to those in need. During the 2015 holiday season, residents from 34 apartment communities in the Southwest, Southeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. participated in the inaugural food and toy drive. Through the effort, 6,732 canned food items were collected and distributed to a selection of food banks and 1,065 toys were received for Toys for Tots.
Apartment community managers at properties owned and/or managed by Monument Capital & Asset Management are able to utilize a speaker stipend to have experts inform residents on various education-related issues. Topics include bilingual education and reading readiness, as well as presentations on local public school programs and services.
