Resident Relief Foundation

Our Story

Dealing with the challenges of helping today's renter requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. The founders of Resident Relief Foundation (fka The Gelt Foundation), Keith Wasserman and Damian Langere, have already created a billion dollar real estate investment company, as well as an innovative financial product for renters with Domuso, Inc. The last piece of their heart for renters is Resident Relief Foundation. We help hard working, responsible people who, if they are the average working person living in an apartment, are living paycheck to paycheck, have little to no savings and are spending more than 30% of their income on housing. They are also likely carrying credit card or other debt. Our criteria is limited on purpose. We help people who have not violated their lease or paid rent late in the past, to stay in their apartments. They must demonstrate the ability to pick up where we leave off by having enough income to cover their monthly expenses. They must also agree to participate in an online financial education program to help their financial wellbeing after the crisis passes.

Established in 2017, we are a 501(c)(3) public nonprofit driven by progressive ideas, bold action, and a solid foundation of support. Join us as we help keep responsible tenants in their apartments during an unexpected financial emergency and also help them better prepare for future emergencies by donating now.
