Grant & Public-Private Partnership Framework
The ASHP Affordable Smart Housing Program™ establishes eligibility and qualifier criteria to ensure that participating organizations, funders, and environments are ready, aligned, and governed responsibly.
Criteria designed to protect funders and institutional partners through clear governance and accountability standards.
Ensure environments are suitable for validation and adoption through baseline readiness assessment.
Maintain consistency across jurisdictions and sectors with standardized qualification frameworks.
Eligibility supports participation; it does not guarantee funding, certification, or outcomes.
