The Education Advantage Foundation ("EAF") is an
educational non-profit serving the low to moderate-income neighborhoods of
major metropolitan areas. The goal of the EAF is to promote higher education
by providing scholarships and free after-school mentoring/tutoring programs
in cooperation with apartment building residents. The EAF negotiates onsite
housing for its program teachers and provides a resource/study center,
including computers, library and reference materials, and teaching tools for
the students and mentors within each building. The EAF awards college
scholarships to students, who have participated in EAF programs and have
shown marked improvement.
EAF works with Learning Links Centers ("LLC")®, a socially responsible
California real estate investment company (www.learninglinkscenters.com)
whose goal is to be a leading private provider of residential rental units
in low to moderate-income communities. Through the programs of EAF, LLC
offers the residents of its buildings the opportunity to enhance their
educational options. Additionally, it provides living assistance to
teachers, in exchange for their tutoring and mentoring services. With its
expertise in the real estate industry, the LLC management team locates,
refurbishes, and manages the properties.
By creating an environment in which the residents are proud to be part of
the building, EAF and LLC provide desirable housing, educational
opportunities and demonstrate an interest in the future of the residents and
their children. Further, with the added incentive of educational
opportunities, the buildings become desirable destinations for renters,
which minimizes vacancy, rental default and vandalism rates, thereby helping
to improve the community.
