In most circumstances, JustShelter will be suggesting it provide or at least supervise the management services for the first two years of operation.  The first few years are critical for developing a communities character.  The development consultants as marketers are the first contact, the people who are there at and after move-in, and those responsible for dealing with construction deficiencies or other transition difficulties.  A continuing relationship creates a smoother  transition. 

The management plan will include:

• Preparation of first year's and subsequent operating budgets.

• Set up and operation of the management office and establish financial controls and procedures.

• Maintain the waiting list and continued marketing.

• Supervision of maintenance and staff, as well as following up on construction deficiencies.

• Ongoing relationship with a resident’s council or other resident’s association that may emerge.

• Development and implement a supportive services plan and arranging for support service staff.

• Reporting to the Board of Directors.
