Crime Free Multi-Housing (CFMH) is a program designed to make multi-family dwellings and single family rental homes safe and desirable places to live. The program provides a partnership between police, local property owners/managers, and residents to foster a safe, healthy, crime free community in rental housing. CFMH is pro-property manager, pro-resident, and anti-crime program with attainable benefits.
Property owners, managers, assistant managers, leasing agents, office staff, maintenance staff, and anyone who works with housing is encouraged to participate in the program.
The program uses a unique three-phase approach that ensures resident-friendly techniques will be applied to achieve crime prevention goals. The three components that make up the program are:
All three phases of the program must be met before the complex/property can be certified in the CFMH program. The three phases do not need to be completed in any particular order. After all three phases are completed the owner/property manager will receive certification indicating they are fully certified as a Crime Free Multi-Housing property.
Our Commitment to you
The Crime Free Application Addendum is an effective, legal tool used to properly screen prospective tenants. The Crime Free Lease Addendum is based on the "one-strike - you're out" lease agreement recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
