I don't recommend this organization Mission First Housing Group nor their subdivision Columbus Property Management for any award for a safe housing development and they don't help the homeless only harm and intimidate the their tenants who protest against their deplorable dwelling conditions.
This organization is well known for exposing their residents to mold, lead in drinking water, dangerous levels of exposure to PM.2.5, PM10, TVOC, and HHOV air toxins in their apartment units and throughout their apartment building.
They hire property managers with a shady employment history and they allow their property managers to threaten their tenants with eviction should they demand safe dwelling through a petition. They use constructive eviction tactics against tenants who refuse to back down from exposing them.
