The paperwork shouldn’t be the reason a household loses the unit.
Affordable housing intake fails in a specific, predictable way: an applicant submits what they believe is a complete file, and weeks later learns it wasn’t. Meanwhile staff spend their time on correspondence instead of review. Applyfi closes that gap by moving the rules to the moment of upload.
Compliance is the product
The rules aren’t a settings page bolted onto a form builder. UHAC, 24 CFR Part 5 and HOTMA are the logic the product is written in.
The decision stays human
We collect, cross-check and flag. Eligibility is determined by the housing organization, on a record they can defend.
Accessible to the public
Applicants are members of the public, on whatever device they have. The applicant portal targets WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508.
The company
Based in Trenton, starting with New Jersey’s UHAC and Mount Laurel administrative agents and voucher administrators.

Written from the compliance side of the desk
The rules in Applyfi weren’t researched for the build. They come from twenty-five years of reviewing files that were rejected for something avoidable.
