Number of housing units constructed by the organization during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used. See usage guidance for further information.
This metric is intended to capture the gross number of housing units constructed in both single- and multi-family buildings. Organizations are also encouraged to footnote the net number of housing units constructed (by subtracting from the gross number any housing units lost during the previous reporting period), additionally footnoting relevant details. Organizations should only report housing units the construction of which has already been completed, not those financed and still under construction.

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
