At Marco Polo, we understand the challenges you face as a provider in the disability housing market. Our platform is designed to bring significant value to your business, making the investment well worth it, while ensuring we can continue offering this innovative service.
Vacancies can be extremely costly, with an average vacancy length of 365 days before finding appropriate housemates*. This can result in lost income of approximately $200,000 per year for a 1:3 ratio home, and $320,000 per year for a 1:2 ratio home. Our platform uniquely allows you to fill homes before committing to setup costs like rent, mortgages, or staffing, thereby reducing financial risk.
2022-2023 was a tough year for Home and Living Providers. With rising administration, wage, and insurance costs; and the 2024-2025 Pricing Guide having little room for growth or fiscal reprieve. Vacancies exacerbate these pressures, with over 34% of providers reporting losses, and an increasing number facing business closures**. We empathize with these challenges and aim to provide a solution that alleviates these burdens.
A recent survey revealed that 65% of SIL participants are dissatisfied with their current living arrangements. This presents a significant opportunity for providers to offer better, more suitable housing options. By investing in Marco Polo, you can meet this demand and improve participant satisfaction.
For a nominal monthly investment, Marco Polo helps you expand your service offerings, reduce associated risks, and offer full occupancy, making it a valuable addition to your business strategy.
