The Strategic Partners group may vary, but is essentially composed of members who are vital to delivering the project, including the housing service provider agencies. Lastly, the Service Partners group consists of members who will provide a service to your organization that is needed to successfully implement the Reside program, such as: an architect, insurance broker, interior designer, and legal consultant.
