Underdog

Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog.

The Colts were favored to win last Sunday's Super Bowl, but in the truest sense of never counting out the underdog, the Saints pulled off an incredible win.  When they received the trophy you could tell that they were not there for the money, they were there to win for them selves and for the people of New Orleans. They were there for the city that was feeling abandoned and left for dead just 6 years earlier.  They were there to show the world that even with little help, they rebuilt.  They turned a homeless shelter into a house of champions. 

Of all the great feats accomplished, it not only takes great talent and hard work, but it takes heart. Last Sunday was an evening were heart and passion trumped experience and skill. That is the way every athletic event should be played.

At Signature Community we play with heart and passion everyday. Some of our properties are up against incredible odds, yet they we are still playing to win.  We have markets where more than 20% of our residents have recently lost their jobs, where hurricanes have ravaged buildings, areas where crime and drug gangs have attempted to move-in, you name it and its happened at a Signature Community in this past year or so.  At Signature Community we have not taken it sitting down.  For unemployed residents, we have a Signature Help Work Program so that residents can work off their past due balances. We have residents in almost every market in the country now working off their balances while serving the Signature Community.

We also have team members that go the extra yard for our success. Like Kristen in Richmond, VA who was up until 2AM salting parking lots and fixing electrical breakers during a record snowstorm. Matt in KC who worked with an unemployed resident to start cleaning hallways to pay her back rent. 

We may be the underdogs in this fight but don't count us out. We are winners!

Thanks for making it happen with Signature Community.
