The special-needs housing market now has an effective tool for property management and community access. HousingPoint is the housing locator of choice for special-needs properties. It allows property owners to independently manage and publish their units’ details and availability, and is also a cost-effective way to ensure that low-income citizens are aware of all of their affordable-housing options.

For property owners and government agencies, HousingPoint makes it possible to actively update and manage an inventory of affordable and subsidized units within a community. Web-accessible listings can include descriptions, floorplans, photographs, availability, rental applications, and more. There is also a mapping capability for local amenities such as schools, shopping plazas, parks, and transportation. Additionally, HousingPoint features a date stamp, an e-mail reminder tool, and an auto-expiration function to ensure that all listings are kept up-to-date.

HousingPoint comes packaged with an array of reporting options for administrators. Statistics are made available on such subjects as types of units available, types of searches being run, occupancy rates, turnover rates, and hot properties. Marketing efforts can also be gauged and refined through the built-in reporting feature; HousingPoint offers surveys to users on how and why they came to use the software.

For renters, HousingPoint makes it easier than ever to understand and sort their housing options. HousingPoint can perform searches based on special criteria, including (but not limited to):

		Handicap Accessibility
		Senior Housing
		Post-Incarceration
		Mental Illness
		Section 8 Vouchers
		Lead-Free Housing
		Unit size
		Address or area

The Housing Locator tool yields detailed information on matching available units and provides maps of the neighborhood. Search criteria can be combined to produce even more refined results.

HousingPoint puts those in need with those who can help. By broadcasting unit availability over the internet, property owners increase the likelihood that all renters with special-needs circumstances will find a home. By tracking and gathering information on property activity, HousingPoint enables property owners to spot trends and patterns within their rental community.

With HousingPoint, property owners can manage their listings over the web in real time, and renters have a wealth of information at their fingertips to ensure that they find not only a home, but the right home.
