The Cleme Manor Apartment Complex is a 284-unit affordable housing property in Houston, TX. After acquisition in 2014, NHPF performed millions of dollars in rehabilitation, such as a complete overhaul of buildings and introduction of various services to help make the lives of residents easier. A recent study found that between a two-year period in 2014 and 2016, calls for service to local law enforcement dropped significantly after the intro- duction of on-site resident services (see Table 6 above). Across the board, law enforcement intervention dropped significantly 27%, demonstrating the tangible increases in safety to affordable housing properties that resident services provide.
