Adopting the Multifamily Impact Framework™

Organizations that adopt the Multifamily Impact Framework™ will join an industry platform upon which to build and enhance their impact strategies, gain the opportunity to learn from and share insights with their peers, and send a clear message to the market that they are committed to meeting industry standards of excellence for delivering impact to their renters and communities.

Eligibility and Certification Requirements
