August Round Up
Announcement
We are excited to announce the creation of a new TaaS (Technology as a Service) focused arm of TPCO. Utilizing our existing top-tier leadership and experience within Preiss IT, TPCO will be creating a separate business unit to help other conventional multifamily and student housing owners/operators with all of their tech needs. This includes, but not limited to, help with ISP selection, contract negotiation, smart tech and other IoT deployment, due diligence services, and hardware/software selection.
We are excited to announce that Whitney Kidd will be joining our team as the new SVP of Innovation and Technology and will be tasked with developing this new business unit and identifying innovative revenue opportunities. Based in Charlotte, Whitney brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from her stints at On-Site, Realpage, and ROVR Score that will be invaluable to our team as we launch this new TaaS arm of our organization. She is a leading voice in our industry and we're so happy that she is officially joining the Preiss family.

Wellness Portal Demo
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Launched
Effective July 16, 2022, people experiencing a mental health crisis will be able to call or text a three-digit number, 988, to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and connect with mental health professionals trained to respond to such emergencies. The hotline will provide 24/7 free and confidential emotional support around the country to those in mental health distress, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline website explains. The new number will connect the caller to a certified crisis center in the area where the call is placed, according to the website. The hotline is made up of a network of 200 local crisis centers around the country.
The three-digit number is expected to be easier to remember in times of crisis than the 10-digit 800 number currently handled by the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It is also meant to streamline mental health responses so people can get the urgent help they need much faster than by calling 911, which generally connects callers to law enforcement agencies rather than mental health professionals.
