SAHF publishes a new toolkit detailing how affordable housing providers can measure and evaluate resident outcomes in ways that intentionally center equity and residents in the process.
Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF) and Housing Partnership Network (HPN) release a joint report about how resident-centered programs is connected to housing stability.
The attached is a compendium of existing research (as of May, 2022) looking at resident services in affordable multifamily housing and their impact on property performance and resident outcomes.
Health & Housing, Impact, Service Enriched Housing
Earlier this year, UnitedHealth Group announced an additional $100 million investment in the Health & Housing Fund, a partnership with SAHF and NAHT. The Health and Housing Fund was first announced in June of 2020, initially providing $118 million in funding for affordable housing communities.
SAHF releases new report highlights the results of five years of data collection from our Outcomes Initiative to understand and demonstrate the impact of affordable housing with services.
Centering Residents, Impact, Service Enriched Housing
CORES certification acknowledges a robust organizational commitment to improving resident well-being through enhanced service delivery. CORES certified organizations are eligible for Fannie Mae’s Healthy Housing Rewards™, a financing mechanism that provides funding for property-level services. CommonBond, a SAHF member, received this financing at two properties in Minnesota, helping them to expand opportunity for residents and achieve better outcomes.
A recent study from CommonBond shows that every $1 invested in eviction prevention activities yields $4 in social return in the forms of increased educational outcomes, lower healthcare usage, and decreased use of homeless shelters.
