LOS ANGELES- People Assisting The Homeless (PATH) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Synergy Learning Center to form a property management training program provided through PATHFinders Job Center, a jobs program for people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. This new endeavor will be called the Synergy Property Management Program.

Synergy Learning Center is known for its expertise in training for careers in the property management industry. PATH is known across the country for its innovative solutions to homelessness. By combining these strengths, both entities will provide a comprehensive property management training program that will encourage long-term career development and self-sufficiency.

“We see this partnership as a wonderful opportunity to transition people into property management careers and housing, especially during this struggling job market,” said Janet Kelly, PATH’s Executive Director.

The Synergy Property Management Program will introduce participants to property management as a career option and provide comprehensive training—including instruction in Yardi property management software, an industry leader for affordable and market-rate housing—and job placement services.

“My goal and desire in turning over Synergy Learning Center to PATH is to see it prosper and grow beyond what I could provide,” said Dona Eng, founder of Synergy Learning Center. “I will chair an Advisory Committee to provide guidance, be an industry liaison and identify client employment opportunities and ongoing funding sources. I am thrilled with this new arrangement and confident that this will allow us to help more people who are in vulnerable circumstances.”

Founded in 1984, PATH is a non-profit community organization that provides integrated services and supportive housing for people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Each year, PATH serves 14,000 homeless men, women and children from throughout Los Angeles County. PATH is a member of PATH Partners, an alliance of service and housing agencies.
