The Community Builders (TCB) has been named a Certified Organization for Resident Engagement & Services (CORES) by Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future. The five-year certification recognizes TCB’s robust commitment, capacity and competency in providing resident services coordination in affordable rental homes through the TCB Community Life model. The entire TCB portfolio is included in the CORES certification.

CORES certification provides TCB with both financial and reputational benefits. It is a key requirement, among others, for Fannie Mae’s Healthy Housing Rewards™ Enhanced Resident Services (ERS) financing incentives. ERS incentives benefit newly constructed, rehabilitated or refinanced affordable multifamily sites that have resident services coordination systems, such as TCB Community Life. TCB is exploring the additional property-level requirements for ERS financing.
