  • The MIC team is grateful to be partnering with so many amazing organizations, and one that truly stands out is Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF). SAHF’s mission is to advance the creation and preservation of healthy, sustainable, affordable rental homes that promote equity, opportunity, and wellness for those with limited economic resources.    In their latest blog article, "Centering Residents: Measuring Satisfaction, Agency, & Voice," SAHF explores the critical role of resident feedback in shaping housing agency services. By actively measuring satisfaction and involving residents in decision-making, SAHF is paving the way for more responsive and effective housing solutions.

  • The MIC team recently sat down with Mike Kingsella, Founder and CEO of Up for Growth and Up for Growth Action, to discuss what to watch for in 2025 regarding affordability legislation and policies.    Up for Growth is an organization with a track record of national pro-housing legislative success. They advocate for housing affordability by uniting diverse stakeholders to create policy suggestions and address past exclusionary practices.     One question we asked Mike was, “What areas will you be focusing on in the coming year?”    You’ve probably noticed that housing is on the ballot this November. Three in five people now cite housing costs as one of their top concerns… Up for Growth has been busy developing its policy portfolio so we can quickly capitalize on opportunities to create new funding for building innovation, housing preservation, and new home production. Our goal is to enable 10 million more homes in the next 10 years – 10 million above and beyond what’s already expected.    Also in 2025, we will be taking our work on the road, visiting regions across the country to hear from lawmakers and community leaders what’s working. Our goal is to take what we learn and turn it into meaningful, nuanced policy recommendations that lawmakers can borrow, adapt, and deploy to meet their unique needs. All in all, we think 2025 is going to be a big year for housing supply.    Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/ddQEN5Jx    #CommercialRealEstate #ImpactInvesting #MultifamilyHousing #HousingLegislation #AffodrableHousing

    This week's edition of Long on Impact focuses on the final impact principle of the Multifamily Impact Council Framework: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. Organizations with diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce are better equipped to manage through change and uncertainty and when industries become stagnant and monolithic, they lose the ability to solve large and complex problems. There are few issues larger or more complex than addressing our urgent need for more affordable and sustainable rental homes in the United States. To be successful, we will need all of the fresh perspectives, ideas and energy that a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce can provide. Read, subscribe, share with your network. 👇 👇 👇

  • Exciting News! Last month, during Climate Week in #NewYorkCity, TWO MIC Silver Founding members—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — along with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), announced a new working group to coordinate with multifamily housing developers and the solar industry to  uplift industry best practices for on-site solar at multifamily properties.    Together they will assess enhancements and standardize processes to reduce transaction costs and make it easier to install solar on affordable and market-rate multifamily housing and leverage historic IRA dollars. This effort will help the marketplace meet the demands of the housing and solar industry to cut housing operational costs, reduce emissions, and enable the long-term preservation of multifamily housing.     The MIC team has been working closely with the White House on this issue and is excited to support the ongoing progress of this initiative.     Thank you, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for your hard work and leadership!    Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gV65rykA     #CommercialRealEstate #ImpactInvesting #Solar #MultifamilyHousing #Sustainabiliity

  • Alongside leading manufacturing, labor, design professional, and investor organizations, the MIC team provided supportive statements to the U.S. Green Building Council regarding the definition of zero emissions during #ClimateWeek in New York City:    "The Multifamily Impact Council is proud to support the federal definition of a zero emissions building. This clear call to action from the Department of Energy establishes a minimum performance threshold for financing and benchmarking entities to rely on as we collectively progress toward a cleaner building future. As an organization committed to creating and continually elevating meaningful, industry-relevant standards to drive positive social and environmental change, we commend the White House for this important step and the inclusive approach taken to achieve it. We look forward to supporting our members as they strive to meet this high standard in the months and years to come."    These announcements from certification organizations provide clear pathways for building owners to demonstrate that their properties meet the definition. This initiative, stemming from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s June announcement, aims to establish a common understanding and enhance transparency around zero-emission buildings, addressing the significant contribution of the buildings sector to greenhouse gas emissions.    Read the full release here: https://lnkd.in/gEqmqra4    #CommercialRealEstate #ImpactInvesting #ZeroEmissions #Benchmarking #GreenBuilding
