Several key community organizations came together to develop the Community Properties Initiative. Each organization is an advocate of neighborhood revitalization and community development. Each was instrumental in shaping the vision that Community Properties of Ohio Management Services has embraced. In addition to the Community Properties initiative, CPO manages additional properties on behalf of our valued housing and development partners.

Campus Partners
Campus Partners for Community Urban Redevelopment was created in 1995 by The Ohio State University, in cooperation with the city of Columbus. Campus Partners’ main goal is to lead the revitalization of the University District in Columbus.
