Martin Luther King Resident Service Coordinator
The Resident Service Coordinator (RSC) is a valuable resource and an important member of the management team. RSC’s link residents to existing services and resources in the community, assist residents to building an informal support network among themselves, encourage residents to be proactive in meeting their social, psychological and physical needs, provide conflict resolution assistance as appropriate and seek out assistance with existing community resources when needed. RSC’s increase the ability of residents to uphold their lease obligations such as paying rent on time, taking proper care of their units and ensuring the quiet enjoyment of the property for all residents and surrounding neighbors.

RSC’s are an integral part of the management team addressing the needs and difficulties of residents that can jeopardize tenancy. They promote effective partnerships among housing providers, property managers and service providers to improve the project’s financial viability and stability, benefiting current and future residents and ultimately the community at large. The RSC’s ability to work with community agencies on behalf of the residents goes a long way in enhancing good will and the position of the property as a positive asset and resource in the community.
