Making Affordable Investable

“The Framework enhanced LIIF’s Impact Scorecard with clear criteria for resident services, economic mobility, and housing stability – making it easier for lenders to assess impact and support housing that advances opportunity, equity and well-being.”

“We adopted the Multifamily Impact Framework™ because we wanted to do more than count units, we wanted to measure real, long-term change in the lives of the residents we finance. The Framework gives us a clear, data-driven way to track impact from underwriting through the full life of a loan and puts us in the strongest possible position to understand and improve the long-term effects of our work on low-income individuals and families.”

“The Multifamily Impact Framework™ has helped us understand what it means to underwrite positive impact in a real way. Not by reducing impact to a single metric, but by giving us a shared structure for thinking about how strategy, operations, and outcomes connect.”

"Affordable housing preservation is no longer solely about maintaining rent restrictions. It is about creating operationally resilient communities that remain financially sustainable for decades. The Multifamily Impact Council's latest research helps move this conversation from theory to measurable evidence, showing that resident outcomes and long-term financial sustainability are not competing priorities, they are increasingly aligned."

“Mass Housing is using the Multifamily Impact Framework™ as a practical roadmap for mixed-income investments that deliver long-term affordability and strong, risk-adjusted returns. The Framework connects this work to clear investment standards, giving public partners and private investors confidence that capital deployed through our BILD program and Momentum Fund can create durable mixed-income communities.”

The Multifamily Impact Framework gives our industry a practical, mission-aligned roadmap for turning good intentions into measurable outcomes for all stakeholders. By establishing a shared language for how high-quality, resident-centered impact reduces asset risk and improves the bottom line, the Framework can help investors, owners, operators, and service providers work together to optimize strategies for capital, operations and resident services. For Viva Benefits, this resonates with our core thesis, backed by case studies and MIC-sponsored industry data: stabilizing resident households stabilizes assets.
