Morgan Stanley has agreed to offer grants to developments in its rehabilitation fund for affordable housing. The grants will cover Centri Life site build-out and three years of subscription fees. Morgan Stanley has offered grants for a range of resident services initiatives and has identified Centri Life as an exciting new way for grantees to deliver life-enhancing tools and resources to residents.
Centri Life is a web-based platform for affordable housing properties that is customized with hyperlocal resources for residents. The curated content helps residents build wealth and manage their finances; improve health outcomes; effectively engage in the workforce; and navigate aging in place. Centri Life features useful websites and mobile apps, along with helpful videos. All of these serve to demystify often-complicated topics, such as acquiring health insurance and filing taxes. The platform also features more than 20 key actions that will have lasting impacts for residents, including opening a bank account, gaining new digital skills, and finding a doctor or therapist. Residents can choose to take action in multiple ways, such as through a helpful website; on a mobile app; or via local, in-person resources.
