Alpha Project: Trustworthy?
I'm an apartment manager in San Diego and there's this company called Alpha Project. They take people who are currently homeless and act as an agent to get them housed. The client must work and give Alpha Project half of their income. In return, Alpha Project pays all their rent. They offer a first time signing bonus of $500 to the rental property as an incentive to take on their client as a new tenant. They also say that any problems that arise with the tenant including evictions, they'll handle ( like a middle man). The rent money comes from the San Diego Housing Commission and is said to be paid on time every month guaranteed.
Has anyone worked with Alpha Project and can give feedback from a landlord's perspective?
I have an applicant from them with a 504 credit score and an " unlawful detainer" on record w/ a judgement amount of around $5,000. So, typically, he'd be denied. I want to give them a shot, but the higher-ups aren't sure.
