Yardi Launches RentCafe Social Housing to Expedite Applications and Compliance

New online solution offers unique features and benefits for social housing
providers

SANTA BARBARA, Oct.
23, 2019 – Yardi®
announces the launch of RentCafe® Social Housing, an innovative software solution for Canadian
social housing providers that transforms traditionally paper-based transactions
into an intuitive online workflow.

RENTCafé Social Housing makes it easier for eligible
tenants to find available housing units, sign up for waiting lists and submit household
information to meet social housing program requirements. Applicants can also complete
and submit their forms online using a computer or mobile app.

“Our goal in developing
this technology is to improve how social housing providers manage their
properties and deliver units to their clients. It’s an evolution of social
housing that will simplify the application process for housing providers,
service managers, waitlist administrators and applicants,” said Peter Altobelli, vice president and
general manager of Yardi Canada Ltd.

Online social
housing waitlisting and applications are easier to fill out, faster to process
and prevent many common errors. For example, RentCafe Social Housing proactively stops incomplete applications from
being submitted by ensuring that applicants do not skip any required steps in
the process.

RENTCafé Social Housing launched in February 2019 and is currently limited to organizations operating in Ontario and Alberta. With the solution, housing providers have created more than 58,000 online unit listings and received more than 430,000 tenant applications. New functionality is scheduled to be released in 2020 and will add even more beneficial services.
