Columbus, MS, The staff of Fountain Square, a townhome community, was honored to host a luncheon on May 13 for their resident veterans. The luncheon was an opportunity to meet neighbors, share stories and make new friends. As a small token of appreciation, the Army Veterans were presented with a gift bag filled with miscellaneous items including a Walmart gift card.

To extend their support, Robert Collier, Senior Vice President, Alisha Chandler, Assistant Vice President and Victoria Mayberry, Senior Compliance Officer from Mississippi Home Corporation (MHC) attended the event.

Fountain Square was developed in cooperation with the Mississippi Home Corporation under the state's Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. As part of the program requirement, the owners are required to set aside ten percent of the units, or five units, for veterans. This is a goal that the owners, FOURMIDABLE and Fountain Square are pleased to have met.

“Our goal is to not just meet the program requirements but to provide safe, affordable housing for as many veterans as we can. We manage five communities in Mississippi where veterans receive preferences and specials,” stated Jeri Hays, Chief Executive Officer of FOURMIDABLE, the Management Agent of Fountain Square.

Fountain Square is a 48 three-bedroom and two-and-one-half bath townhome community. The units feature spacious floor plans, attached two car garage with remote, fully equipped kitchens with dishwasher, and in-unit washer and dryer. There is also a business center, furnished clubhouse and complimentary Wi-Fi. Fountain Square rents are $585; income restrictions apply. More information can be found at fountainsquarems.com.
