NCST’s work increases access to homeownership, promotes resilient neighborhoods, and advances racial equity by advocating for policy change.
In partnership with Freddie Mac and Smart Home America, NCST is hosting a series of training events to introduce disaster and weather resilient construction methods, taught by Smart Home America. Weather related events included in the training will focus on High Wind, Wind Driven Rain, and Hail, with a separate training focused on wildfire-resistant standards.
These trainings will provide real estate housing developers with an introduction to the FORTIFIED Home™ standard, as well as additional information and tools to complete rehabs to standards that better protect and increase the resiliency of single-family housing inventory across the country.
Smart Home America was founded in 2009 as the first organization to systematically implement FORTIFIED standards as a model and solution for pre-disaster mitigation, planning and development.
