What is the

Crime Free Multi-Housing Program?

 

Where it began

 

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program began in Mesa, Arizona in July 1992.  It has spread across the United States and to Canada in a very short time.  It was designed to be law enforcement driven.

 

How it works

 

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is a unique, three-phase certification program for rental properties of all sizes, including single family rental homes.  The first phase is the completion of an eight-hour program taught by attorneys, police and fire personnel.  Frequently, guest speakers will also attend to address specific topics relating to rental properties.  This police-sponsored program is designed to be very easy, yet extremely effective, at reducing criminal activity in rental properties.

 

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program addresses these topics:

• Understanding Crime Prevention
• The application Process
• Common Sense Self Defense
• Community Rules/Leases
• Apartment Communities/Not Complexes
• Active Property Management
• Combating Crime Problems
• Gang Awareness
• Drug Awareness
• Domestic Violence
• Law Enforcement: To Serve and Protect?
• Partnership with the Fire Department
• Dealing with Non-Compliance

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is taught in an 8 hour training program which can be set up to accommodate complex managers.
