(Not necessarily better):
1-Star for the tax/financial and other (non-residential) services offered (but don't think Foundation Communities is doing it out of purely philanthropic reasons).
Don't walk, run! For those who haven't been able to rent from Foundation Communities, you may want to take it as a sign of protection (from your God or guardian angel) and move on...For those giving 4-5 stars, I doubt that you've EVER lived in a Foundation Communities' property. Perhaps you took the tour (with the cold sandwiches)?
If you are an employee, spouse, consultant, volunteer, visitor, admirer, partner or "friend" of Foundation Communities, posting here skews the ratings, and you should, instead, post on the websites specifically designed for that purpose (e.g., GD, ID, etc.). But I'm sure you already knew that and realize the pressure you must have been under to post a positive review or the incentive (bribe) you'll miss out on if you don't.
My Personal Experience: Initially IMPRESSED, then ENCOURAGED, then STUNNED, then SHOCKED. Now, OUTRAGED!
It's not what you think. If you are a tenant/resident, you are treated no differently than a number (or a child). As long as you bow down to them and do as you are told (despite how unreasonable their requests are), then you may be left alone with what is left of your life, because they have reduced you to the level of submission that they can manage and manipulate you.
There are too many off-lease occupants residing (unchecked) on these properties. (Think about it. When a crime occurs, how do you canvass a whole subcommunity of residents who don't exist on paper? Trust me, you don't these properties in your neighborhood.)

If Foundation Communities would just stick with basic human dignities (e.g., according to the hierarchy of human needs), they wouldn't be as far off-course as they are now. But their "success" story is built on the backs of desperate tenants in an extremely opportunistic housing market. They are sanctioned by the municipalities that increasingly empower them, because people don't care as much as they would like to believe that they do. And besides, who else is going to deal with a marginalized population that wealthy people wish would just go away?
Instead of a cornerstone, "Foundation" Communities is more like a stumbling block. Don't judge this book of fiction by its cover or sound bites (of alternative facts) for that matter. Open your eyes and quit empowering this mega slumlord!
