“BECAUSE INVEST DSM INVESTED IN OUR HOME, WE HAVE PUT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY INTO PROJECTS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN DONE. WE WERE LOOKING TO MOVE, BUT WE DECIDED TO REINVEST IN OUR HOME AND MAKE IT WHAT WE WANT.”
ON INVEST DSM STAFF
“THE STAFF WANT TO GET TO ‘YES.’ THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE FLEXIBLE. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.”
ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD
