Percentage of tenants involuntarily removed from the housing unit and the total number of permanent tenants during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote the reason for eviction, and where individuals have transitioned to (e.g. shelters, other supportive housing structures, other, or unknown). Organizations should also footnote any assumptions that went into calculating this metric.
This metric is intended to capture the number of individuals removed from affordable housing units and should footnote reasons for removing them.
In specific contexts, and based on evidence, this metric may serve as a proxy indicator of whether the outcome being sought by an investor or organization is occurring (the WHAT dimension of impact). For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see specific guidance document. No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
January 2020 - IRIS v5.1 Released
No change.
May 2019 - IRIS v5.0 Released
New metric. Developed via IRIS+ core metrics sets.
IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
