Crime Free Multi-Housing Program
The Crime Free Multi-Housing (CFMH) Program is a crime prevention program working with people who manage and live in rental properties. The program is administered by the City of Vancouver and Vancouver Police. The goal is to reduce crime and nuisance in rental properties and encourage active management. Participating properties can experience less property crime and decrease calls for police service involving civil complaints, as demonstrated in a 5-year study 
(136kb) of the program.
There are three phases to become fully certified in the CFMH Program. Once passed, a sign is posted on your property announcing you have “Joined the Vancouver Crime Free Multi-Housing Program”. There is no cost to join the program, other than a modest fee for the workshop and improvements your building may require to meet the minimum requirements. This small investment will pay for itself with lower maintenance and repair costs, increased property values, and a decrease in lost revenue with less resident turn-over.
