Measuring Impact in Multifamily Housing: A Conversation with Bob Simpson

In this week’s episode of Beyond Four Walls, we’re joined by Bob Simpson, President and CEO of the Multifamily Impact Council and a nationally recognized expert in affordable, green, and healthy housing with more than 30 years of experience in housing finance and public policy.

Simpson sits down with NHC President and CEO David M. Dworkin to reflect on his career in housing finance and discuss the Multifamily Impact Framework, an evidence-based set of common impact standards and reporting guidelines for multifamily properties across the United States. They explore the framework’s seven guiding principles, how they are being applied in practice, and the Council’s ongoing research and initiatives, including housing stability plans. The conversation also looks ahead to emerging challenges and opportunities shaping the future of multifamily housing finance.
