What is Housing Accreditation?
Housing Accreditation is a voluntary process that recognizes the quality of a housing organization and assists in its improvement by evaluating it against 8 industry standards. Affordable Housing Accreditation brings together organizations, residents, community stakeholders, business partners and regulators to improve governance, management and service delivery, ultimately benefiting the affordable housing industry and the public.
Accreditation of affordable housing organizations rests on the belief that public and affordable housing is a necessity to the health and welfare of the population and the economic health of the communities where they exist, and that it requires national standards.
