The mission of Star-C Programs is to reduce resident transiency in affordable housing communities and nearby schools, provide academic support for children and ultimately improve the quality of life for the individual and the neighborhood. Founder and Board Chair, Marjy Stagmeier, who is also Managing Director of TriStar Real Estate Investment, is the driving force behind what has become a national model.

This might well be the best example of integrating business and community service ever! TriStar is in the business of affordable housing and Star-C provides services to improve the quality of life for the residents. It’s a classic “virtuous cycle.” Listen in as Marjy discusses:

• Transiency and its devastating impact
• How Star-C has become a national role model for successful management of affordable housing (Better quality of life AND more profitable!)
• Star-C’s organization strategy & how it works
• Landlord as “Mayor” (Talk about a creative approach!)
• “Commodity Landlord” vs. “Community Landlord” and the “Triple Bottom Line”

Keep an eye out for Marjy’s forthcoming book, “Blighted.” It’s a roadmap for Affordable Housing Done Right!

Thank you, Marjy Stagmeier, for your service to our community!
