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 gang activity from rental properties.[1]

This article is about the anti-tenant program. For the laws against tenants, see Crime free ordinance.

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, increased demand for rental units, lowered 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]
