Sustainability:

From the World Business Council on Sustainable Development:
"Sustainable development involves the simultaneous pursuit of economic prosperity, environmental quality and social equity. Companies aiming for sustainability need to perform not against a single, financial bottom line but against the triple bottom line."

Reliance Housing Foundation’s approach to sustainability:
We view our core mission and primary purpose as a highly sustainable endeavor and practice. Developing and managing affordable housing provides unique opportunities for people and families to stabilize their lives, so that they can take steps toward greater future prosperity-both social and economic. This win-win scenario improves communities and local economies by positively affecting every stakeholder of a project.

In addition to economic and social sustainability, Reliance Housing Foundation has also been able to embrace more opportunities in environmentally sustainable business practices, from historic and adaptive reuse to incorporating green building methods to make our buildings more healthy for their respective communities and residents. From an economic standpoint, our business has emerged through one of the most difficult recessions in 50 years to become stronger financially.
