​​TRUE Sample Resources

The documents below are representational and should be used as a guide to understand potential ways to document compliance with credit requirements. Project teams are encouraged to provide submittal documents that demonstrate compliance credit requirements (outlined in the TRUE Rating System and the TRUE Addenda) however best fits their project.
