Honoring Home Leasing’s Legacy

Pennrose respects Home Leasing's long history of delivering high‑quality housing and meaningful community impact.

This is not an ending—it is a passing of the torch that will ensure we create and preserved affordable housing in upstate New York, together!

A Strong Foundation — and a Clear Path Forward

Led by Contour Housing Partners, this transition is fundamentally about continuity, investment, and opportunity within the Pennrose enterprise.

  • Day‑to‑day operations remain locally focused.

The people who know these communities best continue to lead them. Local expertise, relationships, and operational decision‑making are preserved.

  • Investment on the future.

Through Pennrose and Contour, there is renewed and sustained investment in properties, systems, technology, compliance, and operational support.

  • Partnership, not replacement.

This platform is designed to support and elevate existing teams—not manage over them.

  • Pathways for future opportunity.

Existing communities benefit from continued stability and investment, while new communities join the platform through Pennrose’s development pipeline—carrying forward Home Leasing’s vision at scale. Projects such as Maria Regina Gardens in Syracuse, and other developments originally envisioned by Home Leasing, will move forward with the backing, capacity, and long‑term commitment of Pennrose.

Your Voice Matters — Sharing Feedback

This transition is guided by Pennrose’s commitment to responsible growth, transparent governance, and meaningful engagement with employees. Questions, concerns, and ideas from Home Leasing team members help shape better outcomes for our people, residents, and communities.

  • Feedback will be used to identify issues early, inform decisions, and improve how we work together.
  • Employees will have clear ways to share input, including a dedicated feedback channel (with an anonymous option) and direct outreach to named contacts.
  • Themes raised will be reviewed by leadership and reflected in updates posted on this page.

If something needs attention, we want to hear it. If something is working well, we want to preserve it.

We will use this page to share information, documents, and updates throughout the process for access and transparency. Additional information will be added as it becomes available.
