Value of housing projected to be constructed or preserved as a result of investments made by the organization during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture the value of investments made to construct new housing units or preserve existing housing units, not the value of the actual housing units themselves. Organizations should report housing units in both single- and multi-family buildings.
Metrics identified as "cross-category" are those that are relevant to any IRIS+ Impact Category or Impact Theme (i.e., these metrics are not specific to any particular industry/category or theme).

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).
