Whomever wrote the previous review must have had the wrong company. Sobro absolutely does not stand for anything it heralds in its own mission statement. Their only concern is gaining a profit even if it is at the expense of the community it claims to serve. Sobro needs a thorough restructuring from the President to most especially the VP of Property Management who treats the Bronx community as sub-human. Perhaps if their staff had to live in their own properties they would actually care and want to make the changes to actually improve the quality of life of its tenants in the South Bronx!

SoBRO is an excellent organization because they live by their belief in making the South Bronx a productive & warm-loving place to work & live in! SoBRO also has a genuine heart for making a difference in the lives of both Youth & Adults! I have had the pleasure of working closely with SoBRO! I am proud to say I have been part off, as well as witnessed great results, where SoBRO has made a huge difference in many lives (i.e. graduation ceremonies, business owners alumni gathering, and affordable living quarters). SoBRO is a genuine non-profit-organization and I will stand by them 100%!
