Three Key Elements of the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program

Phase I - Management training: beginning with an 8 hour workshop managers are educated on how to effectively manage their properties and use present legislation to stop the spread of illegal and nuisance activity on rental property

Phase II - Property security assessment: Using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, the apartment building and property is assessed by a Crime Free Coordinator and changes/improvements recommended. Apartments must meet minimum security requirements of the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program to become fully certified in the Program.

Phase III - Resident training: beginning with a Safety Social residents learn to work with owners, managers, police and other residents to be eyes and ears for their apartment community.  A meeting is held annually to re-certify the property.
Successful completion of these three phases results in an apartment community becoming fully certified in the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. Regular friendly reviews and annual re-certification ensures that the certified apartment community continues to meet the requirements of the Program and ensure the crime prevention goal.
