FHS initiatives improve process and operational efficiencies, provide proactive management solutions, incorporate state of the art systems and technologies, achieve  extensive cost savings, and generate increased cash flow.  In addition to strengthening the portfolio performance, these initiatives support the FHS commitment to provide safe housing and increase the value of assets under ownership.  Read more about FHS' innovative approach to rehabilitation and management through its Federal Development Solutions™ (FDS) programs.
