Some exciting news! RCI Village will now be able to hold leases with other landlords. This will allow us to expand the amount of apartments in RCI Village and provide good homes for our friends. Two ways you can share in our joy and work:... 1) Refer a good landlord you know. Send us a private message if you have the contact info for a good landlord 2) Adopt-an-Apartment. Possibly as a church, a small group, or group of friends, you could help supplement someone's rent on a monthly basis.
