The Peabody Companies, a group of award-winning property management and real estate firms, in partnership with Tent City Corporation, the resident-comprised organization that owns Tent City Apartments, announces a new program that enables residents of Tent City and Warren Avenue Apartments to improve their credit scores by making timely rent payments.
The program is offered in partnership between MassHousing and Esusu. MassHousing is an independent, quasi-public agency charged with providing financing for affordable housing in Massachusetts. Esusu is a financial technology company that helps renters build their credit by reporting rent payments to major credit bureaus. The company aims to address financial challenges and barriers to credit faced by many individuals, particularly those with limited credit history.
“We are excited to introduce this new program in partnership with MassHousing and Esusu,” said Olayinka Kuye-Romelus, director of portfolio operations at the Peabody Companies. “By enabling our residents to build their credit through timely rent payments, we are not only helping them achieve greater financial stability, but also empowering them to access more opportunities in the future. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing the lives of our residents and supporting their financial well-being.”
Headquartered at 536 Granite Street, Braintree, Massachusetts, The Peabody Companies and its affiliates – Peabody Properties, Peabody Resident Services, Peabody Supportive Housing, Peabody Real Estate, and Peabody Miami – represent a legacy of excellence in the real estate sector. Founded in 1976 and led by Melissa Fish-Crane and Karen Fish-Will, this full-service, award-winning real estate firm is an Accredited Management Organization (AMO) that oversees more than 14,650 housing units across New England, with additional properties in New Jersey and Florida.
