The record
Key compliance steps, such as an application captured, a screening decision, and a lease signed, are written down as they happen. Entries are added and never rewritten, so you can show what happened and when.
A tamper-evident version, where each entry is locked to the one before it, is built and being switched on.
Humans where it matters
Frank never denies an application on his own. Medical debt or a past hardship can hide a great resident, so every exception goes to a person with the full file in front of them.
Your team reviews each file in the staff console and makes the call.
Built for your programs
Agent Frank is live in tax credit (LIHTC) communities today. He works alongside the property management system you already use.
These are being built. None of them is live today, and we will say plainly when each one is.
Renters apply once and carry a pre-qualified profile, a Housing Passport, to every participating property. It needs a fair housing review before it launches.
Frank texts renters links and reminders.
Frank calls and emails, kindly and on time, until nothing is missing.
Participating properties pool campaigns that bring renters to universalhousing.us.
Residents pay by bank transfer, with reminders before the due date.

Rent increase and late notices, sent on the correct timeline.
A video walkthrough at each end, compared side by side, so deposit decisions rest on evidence.
