Housing Authority Solutions

Housing Authority Solutions

NetTarius Technology Solutions knows housing authorities have unique requirements that are critical for your success. The need for the Executive Directors, Controllers, Accounting and Risk Management, Administrative Services Coordinators, Section Eight, Public Housing Administrators, and other housing authority leaders to have access to data to allow them to make informative decisions is fundamental in your day-to-day operations.  We understand your challenges of serving and providing for your residents and staying in compliance with HUD’s requirements, while remaining within your budget obligations.  We know that your Public Safety, Property Management, Social Services, and Community Activity need to uniformly work together and all departments to communicate effectively. NetTarius Technology Solutions will work with you to integrate and manage all of your Information Technology needs of individual departments while advancing the overall objectives of your entity.

NetTarius Technology Solutions has expertise in deploying Tenmast, a comprehensive data management software system based on HUD regulations and reporting requirements as well as our client’s unique business process needs. NetTarius Technology Solutions works with clients to purchase and use each program individually as needed, but when multiple Tenmast programs are loaded on a network they integrate to share data as needed.

NetTarius Technology Solutions also has extensive experience in deploying VisualHOMES software that provides integrated housing management software solutions to solve the complex applicant, tenant, housing, maintenance and HUD property management needs of housing agencies. Integrated with our financial accounting software solutions, our system will support your Project-based Management initiatives. The VisualHOMES system is HUD-compliant, supports Project-based Accounting, and market-rate property management. VisualHOMES has powerful features such as "wizards" that walk end-users through key processes, drill-down, ACH, direct deposit, laser checks on both pre-printed and blank check stock (MICR), and HUD reporting.

Financial Services

NetTarius Technology Solutions is capable of providing housing authority entities with options to arrange possible payment options and terms that can meet your budget requirements.  Working through these available arrangements, entities can accelerate the deployment of technology and pay for IT infrastructure solutions over time.

These options help entities move technology assets and services costs away from capital budgets to operating and maintenance budgets. This protects entity IT programs and projects from funding cuts and eliminates peaks in capital expenditures. In addition, pay-for-use and leasing options enable entities to align predictable payments with business objectives and show proof of performance throughout the lifecycle of the solution.

Housing Authorities will:

  • Maximize their cash flow with predictable payments over time.
  • Meet all their IT needs within budget and plan for long-term investments.
  • Maximize ROI and conserve capital.
  • Reduce large initial cash outlays.
  • Obtain necessary technology and services when needed.
