Different agencies. The same platform underneath.
Housing Forge powers CHAMP, a statewide program with 240+ agencies of every size in it, which means the differences between agency types are in the platform’s bones rather than bolted on afterward. Find yourself below.
State housing agencies and housing finance agencies
You run programs that dozens or hundreds of local agencies administer, and your job is consistency, oversight, and defensibility across all of them. Housing Forge was built for exactly this shape: a state tier above regional and local tiers, with per-agency configuration underneath.
- A real-time statewide dashboard over intake, submissions, and priority claims
- A built-in audit program: desk audits, random application sampling, vacancy reconciliation, structured ratings, generated report sheets
- Statewide control of waitlists, lotteries, centralized purges, and duplicate merges
- Consistent compliance across every agency you oversee.
Public housing authorities
Your applicants are applying on paper or through a portal that fights them, your waitlist lives partly in a legacy system and partly in institutional memory, and every offer has to survive a challenge. Housing Forge fixes the applicant experience and makes the waitlist defensible.
- One application across every program and waitlist you run
- Dry-run list pulls, an explainable ranking engine, and immutable snapshots
- Seven languages across the portal, emails, letters, and printed forms
Regional administering agencies and shared-services consortia
You screen, determine, and issue on behalf of agencies that aren’t you, which means permissions and accountability matter as much as workflow. That model is already in the platform.
- Centralized screening with field-level control over who may review what
- An organization hierarchy that handles state, regional, local, and vendor tiers
- Per-agency configuration, all from a single installation
Nonprofit housing providers and Continuums of Care
Your applicants often need help completing an application at all, and the people helping them need scoped access that protects applicant privacy.
- Trusted helper delegation: applicant-granted, scoped, time-boxed, revocable, with a hard gate on financial fields
- Helper dashboards with caseloads and organization-level accounts
- A multilingual applicant help assistant grounded only in guidance you approved
Tribal housing authorities
Your programs don’t look like anyone else’s, and most products assume they do. Programs, preferences, age tiers, and eligibility rules here are declarative configuration, so the platform is built to be configured for your program structures, a configuration exercise rather than a rebuild.
- Declarative program, preference, and age-tier configuration
- Rules encoded directly by the engineers who wrote the platform
- Paper and digital intake in one system, for applicants far from an office
Private landlords
You lease to voucher holders, and the paperwork should be lighter than it is. Housing Forge gives landlords a direct lane into the agency’s workflow.
- Online RFTA submission: unit details, rent, utilities, appliances, and lead certification, reviewed by agency staff
- Rent-reasonableness determinations against recorded comparables
- ACH payments to landlords and utility payees
Every other housing organization
County housing departments, municipal programs, special-purpose authorities, and anyone else who administers a housing program. Programs, preferences, eligibility rules, and age tiers are declarative configuration, so the platform is built to be configured around what you run, and our engineers expand the rest to fit your exact requirements.
- One application across every program and waitlist you run
- Paper and digital intake in one system
- Your rules built into your installation by the engineers who wrote the platform
