Dobrodošli u Bilten za stanodavce
Poštovani stanodavci,
Dok se približava jesen, želim odvojiti trenutak da kažem koliko cijenimo vaše partnerstvo. Bez obzira da li ste dio našeg programa Vaučera za izbor stanovanja (HCV) ili neke druge inicijative za stanovanje okruga, vaša uloga u obezbjeđivanju sigurnih i kvalitetnih domova čini trajnu razliku u životima naših stanovnika i u našoj zajednici u cjelini.
Vaša posvećenost pomaže porodicama da se ukorijene, djeci da se usredotoče na školu, a pojedincima da osjete stabilnost mjesta koje mogu nazvati domom. Ne bismo mogli ovo učiniti bez vas.
Ovo izdanje biltena za najamnine sadrži novosti i resurse osmišljene da vam pruže podršku u ovom važnom poslu. Naći ćete informacije o predstojećim događajima, podsjetnike o programskim pravilima i savjete koji će vam pomoći da proces najma bude što lakši. Također smo uključili priče o uspjehu koje pokazuju stvarni utjecaj vašeg učešća i predanosti.
Kao i uvijek, naš tim je tu da vam pomogne. Slobodno nam se obratite sa pitanjima, idejama ili povratnim informacijama. Cijenimo vaše mišljenje i saznanja kako možemo nastaviti jačati naše partnerstvo.
Hvala vam na svemu što radite; vašem profesionalizmu, predanosti i razlici koju činite svaki dan. Zajedno gradimo jače i stabilnije zajednice.
S poštovanjem,
Shannon Koenig
Glavni izvršni direktor
Stambeno zbrinjavanje u okrugu
Važno ažuriranje za stanodavce:
HUD produžava rok za usklađenost s NSPIRE-V
Ministarstvo za stambena pitanja i urbani razvoj (HUD) produžilo je obavezni rok za usklađivanje s novim standardima inspekcije vaučera, poznatim kao NSPIRE-V, do 1. februara 2027. godine. Ovo produženje daje stanodavcima i stambenim organima dodatno vrijeme za pripremu i implementaciju ovih ažuriranih zahtjeva.
Dok NSPIRE-V ne stupi na snagu, trenutni Standardi kvalitete stanovanja (HQS) ostat će na snazi, a svi postojeći procesi inspekcije nastavit će se kao i obično. Imajte na umu da su neki sigurnosni zahtjevi – poput ispravnog rada detektora ugljičnog monoksida i dima te vizualne procjene boja na bazi olova – i dalje obavezni i moraju se održavati u vašim iznajmljenim jedinicama.
Odjel za stanovanje okruga će vas i dalje obavještavati kako HUD bude objavljivao dodatne smjernice. Pružit ćemo vam ažuriranja, mogućnosti obuke i resurse koji će vam pomoći da ispunite zahtjeve NSPIRE-V znatno prije roka.
Ako imate pitanja o inspekcijama ili standardima stambenih jedinica, obratite se našoj osobi za vezu sa stanodavcima na landlord@countyhousing.org .

Mjesto zvano dom
Every home begins with a key and the people who make that possible. At County Housing, we work hand in hand with landlords to open doors for individuals and families in our community. Together, we’re not just providing housing; we’re creating stability, opportunity, and the foundation for a better future.
Each time a landlord chooses to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program, they are helping someone take a step toward security and self-sufficiency. For residents, that step might mean a safe neighborhood, access to better schools, or the comfort of knowing they have a place to return to at the end of the day.
While the path to finding “a place called home” looks different for every family, one thing remains the same: it’s made possible through the dedication and partnership of our landlords. Thank you for helping us make home a reality.
Fall Maintenance Tips for Landlords
Preventing problems before they happen saves time and money. Here’s a quick seasonal checklist:
Inspect and clean gutters to prevent water damage.
Check furnaces and replace filters before the first cold snap.
Insulate pipes in unheated areas to avoid freezing.
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for safety.

Introducing ARCH by HomeScreen – A Valuable Resource for Landlords
At County Housing, we’re always looking for ways to connect our landlord partners with tools and resources that support both you and the residents you serve. One such resource is ARCH by HomeScreen, a program that helps at-risk renters secure safe and stable housing while offering landlords access to a growing pool of qualified tenants.
We’re pleased to introduce ARCH as a potential partner for your rental properties. Below, you’ll find more information about how ARCH works and how it can benefit landlords like you.
Thank you for your continued partnership with County Housing as we work together to expand housing opportunities across our community.
At ARCH by HomeScreen, we’re committed to connecting at-risk renters with safe and stable housing — and we want to be sure landlords like you have the information you need to participate in and benefit from this work.
Launched in March 2021 through CARES Act funding, the At-Risk Renters’ Connection to Housing (ARCH) was created to support low- to moderate-income renters whose housing was affected by the pandemic. Since then, our focus has expanded to help any person currently at risk of homelessness find housing stability.
This fall, we’re proud to be approaching our 200th household housed through the ARCH program, with 83% of placements from the first half of 2024 reporting no issues. Over the past four years, HomeScreen staff at Tower Grove Community Development Corporation (TGCDC) have worked tirelessly to recruit and onboard landlords and nonprofit users to the ARCH platform.
Today, we partner with:
- 500+ nonprofit users from more than 100 organizations
- 350+ individual landlords with properties in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, the Metro East, Jefferson County, and St. Charles County
But demand for affordable housing continues to grow. Homelessness is on the rise across the St. Louis metro area, with over 2,000 homeless individuals recorded in the City of St. Louis in 2024 — a 31% increase since July 2021.
We’re eager to expand our network of landlords to meet this urgent need and continue making an impact for the next 100 households we serve.
If you have a property you would like to list on the ARCH platform or want to learn more about the benefits of partnering with us, please contact Ella Gross at ella@towergrovecdc.org.
