PROCHAMPS Poised For Continued Growth In 2019

MELBOURNE, Fla., Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Utilizing state-of-the-art technology and its unique community partner vendor formula, PROCHAMPS is poised in 2019 to expand its services beyond the hundreds of communities it currently serves in 11 different states.  

A subsidiary of Melbourne-based Community Champions, PROCHAMPS is an industry expert at partnering with local governments to manage the licensing and registration of rental, foreclosure and vacant properties.

Armed with full-service, cloud-based technology, PROCHAMPS has become an industry leader by offering partnering communities property registration services specifically tailored to their respective needs, including but not limited to vacant, foreclosure and rental property registration. PROCHAMPS offers a competitive advantage in property registration by featuring a no out-of-pocket expense to its community partners.

One example of this cost-efficient approach to property registration is Hillsborough County, Fl.  Since  2014, the PROCHAMPS solution has helped Hillsborough County register more than 50,000 foreclosed properties.  Not only has the county gained an invaluable tool in fighting and preventing neighborhood blight, but also has generated more than $5-million in property registration fees for the county, insuring a revenue enhanced or revenue neutral program cost.

Ron Pierce, President of RSA Consulting Group and government relations manager for Hillsborough County, labeled the PROCHAMPS approach a perfect example of a solid public-private partnership.

Community Champions Managing Director Tom Darnell points to the multi-dimensional approach of PROCHAMPS as a significant factor in Hillsborough County's property registration success.

"PROCHAMPS is the only full-service intelligence, technology and program administrator for AT-RISK property registration and licensure program in the nation," explains Darnell.

"Whether our government partners are looking into solutions for all AT-RISK property categories or focusing only on foreclosure, vacant/abandoned private-owner, or rental challenges; PROCHAMPS can tailor a partnership program for your community."

Hillsborough County has found that utilizing PROCHAMPS's technology, which enables instant communication with responsible parties, has been a boon to increased compliance of property registration.  Because these types of properties frequently change ownership hands, Hillsborough County last year enhanced its current partnership with PROCHAMPS to require six-month reoccurring registration requirement until the property has been conveyed to a third-party in an arms-length transaction.  This measure offers the county additional steps in preventing neighborhood blight, preserving existing neighborhoods, and maintaining stable local property tax bases.

Hillsborough County's partnership with PROCHAMPS also helps vigilantly protect against the elements of the perfect storm that contributed to the housing market collapse of 2007-2008.  By maintaining and monitoring current, accurate and twice-per year registration of subject properties as well as legally identified ownership, the PROCHAMPS formula for property registration assists all local government partners in protecting themselves from shifts in political policies, dramatic mortgage interest rate changes, and negative fluctuations in employment and home ownership loan default rates.
