The Section 8 housing platform · Atlanta, GA
A housing platform and a portal, built for Section 8.
HousingChoice prescreens tenants and funnels them to the homes they’ll be approved for, onboards new landlords onto the program, and runs the paperwork in-portal: the tenant submits the RTA, the landlord signs, AI submits it, and both sides see the moment it’s accepted. Built to help housing authorities set their clients up for success.
Why it matters
Today, the timeline fails the families it’s for.
HousingChoice exists to help housing authorities set their clients up for success — because right now the clock works against everyone in the process.
RTA submittal to move-in in 21 days.
And for emergency moves, we place families with landlords whose first-time inspection pass rate is over 90% — so an urgent move actually clears inspection the first time, instead of restarting the clock.
What it does
The whole placement, on one platform.
Properties, people, and paperwork live in the same place — so nothing depends on someone remembering to follow up, and nobody is working from a separate spreadsheet.
Prescreens & funnels tenants
We prescreen every tenant up front, then funnel them to the properties they’re most likely to be approved for — so they only chase homes that actually fit.
Onboards new landlords
Walks owners who’ve never done Section 8 through getting on the program and their first placement — turning hesitant landlords into a steady supply of units.
Full phone support for tenants
A real person on the phone for tenants searching for housing — facilitating tour scheduling, applications, and every step from the first call through move-in.
Owns the tenant conversation
Manages every message with the tenant through placement — updates, reminders, next steps — so the process keeps moving without manual chasing.
Group text with landlord & tenant
Once the RTA is in, it spins up one group text with the tenant and landlord — a single channel that keeps everyone moving to the finish line.
Tracks which RTAs are expiring
Knows every RTA’s clock and surfaces the ones running out of time before the window closes — no expirations slipping by unnoticed.
Flags LIF eligibility
Identifies which tenants are eligible for LIF automatically, so the benefit gets used instead of missed.
Verifies property → authority
Confirms which housing authority each property falls under, so every submission routes to the right place the first time.
RTA, done in the portal
From signed to accepted — without the paper chase.
The RTA is where placements stall: wrong signatures, bad scans, packets sitting in an inbox. In the portal it’s digital end to end, and the status is visible to everyone the moment it changes.
Tenant submits
The tenant submits the RTA right in the portal — no printing, no scanning, no lost packet.
Landlord signs
The landlord signs digitally. No more incorrectly signed or poorly scanned RTAs bouncing back for a redo.
AI submits
AI checks the packet and submits it to the correct housing authority instantly.
Both see acceptance
Tenant and landlord watch the status live — the moment it’s accepted, everyone knows.
Placement engine
It brings the properties to the tenants.
Most tools hand a voucher holder a wall of listings. This one does the opposite — it surfaces the few homes they’ll be approved for and drives the move-in, so clients get housed as fast as possible.
Prescreen
We prescreen every tenant up front, then funnel them to the properties they’re most likely to be approved for — no dead-end applications.
Tour
Coordinated in person or by lockbox, with reminders sent automatically — same-day when possible.
Apply
The application goes out, gets checked for completeness, and the RTA is submitted right the first time.
Move in
It tracks inspection, rent, and contract through to keys — keeping every party moving.
What it matches on
- Voucher size & housing authority
- The area the tenant wants to live
- Stairs, MARTA, pets, deposit
A home that fits
matched to what they qualify for
AI features
AI moves the paperwork. The authority keeps the decisions.
The repetitive, error-prone checks get automated. Every approval, determination, and recertification still belongs to the housing authority.
Duplicate RTAs caught automatically
When the same unit and tenant arrive through more than one channel, AI flags and merges them — so an RTA is never submitted or processed twice.
Recertifications that don’t slip
AI tracks each tenant’s recert timeline and prepares the paperwork ahead of the deadline, so families don’t lose a voucher to a missed date.
The 60-day port, handled
A family porting in has only 60 days to find a home, submit an RTA, and move. AI manages the transfer between agencies — paperwork, routing, follow-up — so the window isn’t lost to red tape.
