Apply For Housing

Completely Secure

If you are like most housing authorities, you have all your computing infrastructure in place to manage day to day operations behind the firewall. It makes great sense. But now you step into the world of a public web site and that could spell trouble – making sure it’s not only available but limits exposure to all the private information within your network. Why risk it?

PHAs like yours are turning to an alternative solution, WebApp, that allows them to have a customized and branded online experience for their housing applicants, without any need to worry about security. Not only is our hosted WebApp completely detached from your environment, but the data is secure within the database as well as during transmission (via secure encryption, SSL).

Available Everywhere

Worried that your applicants may not have computers to browse your web-based intake form? No worries. We’ve built WebApp to work in public environments as well. So clients can head over to libraries and community centers and not worry that their private information (SSN, etc) will be exposed. Optimized for locations without printers, for multiple people using the same computer, and for computers that don’t have the latest browsers on them – WebApp is ready for everywhere.

Elite-Ready

If you are an existing Emphasys Software customer, and work with Elite, then using WebApp is a no-brainer. Because not only can you collect the data online, you can automatically import it from WebApp into Elite. Yes, automatically. Using Microsoft’s latest technology for integration, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), you can configure the import to happen nightly, weekly, monthly, or on the closing of one of our wait lists. Automatic Import into Elite is just one of the many features that comes with WebApp.

Multi-Lingual Text

Not everyone who applies will speak perfect English. That’s why we make sure every page in our WebApp is available in at least two languages – English & Spanish. Now, that may still not do it for you. No worries. We can introduce other languages for small fees, assuming you have the translation. If we need to translate, we can do that as well, but the costs go up a bit. Either way, you can be assured that every language minority that comes to the site to apply can read and apply online in a language that’s comfortable to them. Multi-lingual text is just one of the many features that’s included in WebApp.

Variable Sized Text

Not everyone can read really small text on a computer. That’s why we make sure every page in our WebApp is completely available in at least three font sizes. That means a simple click on the size you want (M | L | XL) and you can really read what’s on the screen. Variable text sizing is just one of the many features that’s included in WebApp.
