Crime-Free Multi-Housing

The Crime-Free Multi-Housing (CFMH) program is a crime prevention program, which partners property owners, residents, and law-enforcement personnel in an effort to eliminate crime, drugs, and gangs on rental properties.[1]
History
The program began in Mesa, Arizona in the United States in 1992. Since then it has spread to other US cities and several other countries.[1]
The International Crime Free Association says that the program has brought satisfied tenants, and increased demand for rental units, lower maintenance and repair costs, increased property values, and improved safety.[1]
Program
Three phases must be completed under police supervision:
- an eight-hour seminar presented by the local police department
- certification that the rental property has met the security requirements for the tenants' safety
- a tenant crime-prevention meeting is held[2]
Landlords are allowed to advertise their full certification on their property.[2]
