Western Wealth Capital provides backpacks to thousands of children in the U.S

We’ve Got Your Back program starts school-kids off on the right foot.

North Vancouver, Canada (September 06, 2018) – Western Wealth Capital (WWC) is pleased to announce the company and its local partner network have distributed over 1,500 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to children in the U.S.

The third annual We’ve Got Your Back program is a WWC-led initiative that was created to help start school-kids off on the right foot. WWC staff personally purchased school supplies from area stores and organized individual backpacks. On July 18, the backpacks were distributed to WWC’s multifamily properties in the U.S.

The year-on-year growth of the We’ve Got Your Back program has meant that each year the initiative touches more and more lives. This year an additional 300 backpacks from the drive were donated to Brunson Lee Elementary School, one of the most underprivileged schools in the Phoenix metro area.

“Over 20,000 people lay their heads at night in our properties. I made a promise that we would do business on human terms, and not on term sheets alone “, says Janet LePage, Chief Executive Officer of WWC.

“The smiles we see on the kids’ faces are worth it alone, but We’ve Got Your Back is also a great personal way to connect parents and our property management staff, ” says LePage. “This initiative is part of our broader goal of wanting to create better communities, which goes beyond monetary investment. We want to create communities that are good places to live for our residents, and good places to work for our employees.

2016’s initial program gave out 450 school backpacks and generated many smiles from kids, parents and WWC staff alike. Last year, the program provided backpacks to every child living in a WWC community, with the surplus donated to local homeless shelter UMOM. WWC once again committed to growing the program’s impact this year, providing backpacks to every child in every WWC community and donating 300 excess backpacks to children at one of the most underprivileged schools in the Phoenix area.

Over the past three years, WWC and partners have donated over $77,000 ($US) through the ‘We’ve Got Your Back’ program. WWC thanks its local network of property managers, commercial brokers, vendors and investors for eagerly stepping up to support this year’s We Got Your Back program.

We’ve Got Your Back is led by WWC’s corporate philosophy of: “We do business on human terms, not term sheets alone.” At WWC, we have a responsibility to people:
For our investors, create wealth.
For our residents, create communities they’re proud of.
For our staff, provide a rewarding and empowering place to work.

Since its inception in 2011, WWC has acquired 46 multi-family unit buildings, representing 8,888 units, with a combined purchase-value of more than $788 million. Our current portfolio, net of divestments, includes 31 multi-family unit rental buildings (over 7,000 units) in the United States.


About Western Wealth Capital

We have a singular focus: create wealth through well-selected real estate investment. We acquire underperforming multifamily rental properties and increase net operating income and valuation through an approach that has been successfully applied across our entire portfolio. We manage these assets, distribute resulting cash flow to investors and, when appropriate, divest. We only focus on markets underpinned by the economic fundamentals of population, employment and GDP growth. Our entry point is when these demand drivers place long-term pressure on vacancy rates and rental pricing. To date, we have invested in the Phoenix, San Antonio and Houston markets. Our execution and results have formed strong relationships that give us access to some of the best multifamily investment opportunities in the American Southwest.
