Comments from Investors,
Management Clients, and
Property Owners


    Over the years Neighborhood Enterprises and Sanctuary in the
    Ordinary have received support from many in local churches and
    the community at large.  Let  these comments from our support
    partners speak for themselves.

                         Investors

    Marie and I have participated in NE's ministry through gifts and
    loans since 1988.  We know our loans help to produce "sanctuaries
    in the ordinary" for ordinary folks.
                                             Ed Schroeder, Lutheran theologian and pastor
                

    ...the NE/SITO use of a selective rehab system produces the
    largest amount of affordable, rental housing per dollar invested.  
    This fact plus a good yield on our investment encouraged us to
    invest our charitable housing dollars...                
                                                            William and Anita Koerner
                                    Bethel Lutheran Church, University City
                

    ...I have loaned money over the years to Neighborhood
    Enterprises so that I could be a partner with NE in providing
    decent and dignified housing for lower income people.

Management Clients

    I have known Jim Roos and NE for over 20 years.  I admire Mr.
    Roos's commitment to providing low-income housing as his
    personal calling...
                                                    Wayne Crosslin, newspaper photographer
                 

    Jim Roos has managed my rental properties in St. Louis for nearly
    30 years.  I have been more than satisfied and I never fret about
    the buildings.
                                       Mary Ann Kerstetter, Greenville, Texas
                

    I have owned property in the Gate District since around 1985 and I
    have used NE as my property manager all the while.  NE has a
    group of employees who are committed, dedicated, and
    trustworthy.    Jim Roos, the president, has a ministry vision that is
    morally sound and uplifting for the neighborhood.
