Rockford, Illinois, United States
What it is
Simply Computer Federal Housing Assistant, also called FHA Software, automates affordable housing compliance for Rural Development, HUD, and LIHTC projects. It monitors occupancy requirements and alerts users to discrepancies, while chronological histories preserve project changes and tenant certifications for processing forms and reports across past, current, or future periods. Core management tools include waiting lists, work orders, purchase orders, unit inventory, dashboards, multi-property reporting, and recertification notices. Registered clients can import website pre-applications from emailed CSV files. The software supports RD/MINC XML submissions and HUD electronic submissions through its Windows-based iMAX Communications feature. It also handles layered RD/HUD and LIHTC compliance, built-in cash or accrual accounting, and multiple projects in one entry window. Listed interfaces include ADP, QuickBooks Intuit, Prisma, PayLease, and RentPayment. The current release supports Windows 11 and cloud-based Windows servers. Pricing can be as low as $299 for small projects, with a free 30-day trial.
