New York, NY, United States
What it is
Housing.Cloud is a cloud-based student housing platform for colleges, universities, and residence life teams. It handles housing applications, room assignments, room selection, billing, communications, reporting, check-in, and resident self-service. Students use a portal on desktop, tablet, or smartphone without installing an app. Roommate Finder uses student habits, requirements, and preferences, while visual floor plans show real-time room availability. Resident requests become trackable tasks assigned to staff and linked to student profiles; residents can follow progress in the portal. The platform connects with Ellucian Banner, Ellucian Colleague, PeopleSoft, and Workday, plus access-control, facilities, and payment systems. Data can sync through SFTP, direct database connections, or APIs, with SAML and OAuth authentication. A no-code report builder creates, shares, and schedules reports. Housing.Cloud says it is SOC 2 compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, stores student data in United States data centers, and follows FERPA and other privacy laws. Pricing is available on request.
