Village on Sage Street
Application List Demographics Give a Picture of Diverse Residents
On September 6, The Community Foundation, the City of Reno, and Volunteers of America hosted hosted the media at the Village on Sage Street construction site. Reporters and donors were invited to take a peek into a dorm room and bathroom of the modular units and envision the community when finished.The Village on Sage Street will provide 200 single residency units at an all inclusive monthly rate of $400.
The exciting news that day was that the Volunteers of America had opened an online waiting list for those who wished to be the first Village residents. In the 8 weeks that followed more than 120 people have signed up and hope to qualify to move in by the end of the year.
The demographics of applicants on the waiting list is interesting.The 120 people on the list range in age from
18 to over 70, more than 20 are under the age of 25. The vast majority are employed with their income being earned, with the next largest group (about 25%) on SSA or SSI.
38 of the applicants earn below the minimum required of $1,300 a month, and three earn more than the upper limit of $2,500 a month. The average income of the "income qualified" applicants, is $1,651, which means that the $400 rental rate including utilities will be just 24% of the average resident's income.
A $400 deposit is required. If someone works full time and makes minimum wage, their rent is only 30% of their income. The construction is nearly complete, and we hope tenants will be able to enter by Christmas.
The Community Foundation is publicizing the wait list to nonprofits serving low-income communities in hopes that they will encourage their constituents to sign up early while rooms are still available.
Please help us by sharing the link to the VOA resident application waiting list.

Corporate Philanthropy Partners Recognized
by Chris Askin in GiftLegacy Blog
October 18, 2018
Thousands of people in our region are benefitting from new initiatives, outreach, and services thanks to the vision and generosity of 15 local companies who partner with the Community Foundation.
The Caregiver Support Initiative, the Housing Land Trust, which is building the Village on Sage Street for 224 low-income individuals, our ongoing and growing body of work to support youth experiencing homelessness, and educational programs to help nonprofits grow, would not be possible without corporate support.
It gives me great pleasure to sing the praises of our Corporate Philanthropy Partners.

Atlantis Volunteer Teams prepared meals for Ronald McDonald House

Through Atlantis' Corporate Charitable Giving Program, we contribute to organizations that build stronger communities. Our philanthropy is centered on the following focus areas: veterans, public education, health and wellness, hung
er relief and shelter, the cultural arts and children's health.
Highlights of our 2017/2018 giving agenda included: Boys & Girls Club of the Truckee Meadows,Veterans Guest House, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northern Nevada, Nevada Diabetes Association, Nevada Museum of Art, Washoe County Alliance for Education, Eddy House,
Volunteers of America, Renown Hospital, American Red Cross, Food Bank of Northern Nevada and
Honor Flight Nevada.
In the spirit of volunteerism, Atlantis' efforts to positively impact the community where we live, work, and raise our families resulted in the creation of a Volunteer Committee. The team members volunteer their time to make a positive impact for the greater good. Recent on-site volunteering efforts included the Food Bank of Northern Nevada Mobile Harvest, Harvest, and Ronald McDonald House Charities Chef Program.
Atlantis donated $25,000 to Honor Flight Nevada, an organization that flies veterans to Washington D.C. to see memorials erected in their honor. Atlantis' flight was in November over Veteran's Day weekend and a group of Atlantis Team Members welcomed the veterans back at a homecoming ceremony at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
In addition, the Atlantis participates in many special events to raise funds, food, clothing, toys and blood for a variety of causes. Among those events were three blood drives including the All Reno Radio Blood Drive, the Give 2 Live Blood Drive and Heroes Remembered Blood Drives that totaled 796 units of blood donated to United Blood Services.
A Toast & Taste of Summer raised over $25,000 for the Reno Initiative for Shelter & Equality, Winter Wonderland raised over $20,000 for Nevada Diabetes Association and during Stuff-A-Bus, we collected 1,037 lbs. of food, 1,724 lbs. of clothing, 184 toys, and $1,368 in monetary donations for The Salvation Army.
In conjunction with KTVN Channel 2 News and Reno Media Group, we raised $37,804 for the American Red Cross and Hurricane Harvey victims. That number includes a $10,000 donation by Monarch Casino & Resort, Inc., parent company of the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa. In addition, we raised $12,089 for those affected by the fires in northern California.
