Public Housing Match & Move Service

A specialized staffing and logistics service that embeds matching coordinators into housing authorities to manually triage applicants against available units in real-time, then coordinates move logistics (inspections, repairs, tenant placement) using a network of vetted contractors. The service operates as a managed extension of the authority's existing team, eliminating the need for new software adoption while immediately unblocking bottlenecks.

SERVICE

31 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Reduces time-to-placement from months to weeks by removing manual administrative drag; authorities avoid costly software implementations and staff retraining; tenants move faster; units generate revenue instead of sitting vacant. Contractor network ensures repairs and inspections happen same-week, not same-quarter.

Target Audience

Mid-to-large public housing authorities (50+ units) in cities with 2+ year waitlists; primarily procurement/operations directors and housing directors

Key Features

Dedicated on-site matching coordinator who learns each authority's eligibility rules, unit types, and tenant needs within 2 weeks
Weekly unit-to-applicant matching sessions using physical waitlist data + coordinator's domain knowledge (not algorithmic black-box)
Vetted contractor network (electricians, plumbers, inspectors, cleaners) on speed-dial for pre-move repairs; same-week turnaround guaranteed
And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Google Sheets or Airtable (for unit inventory and applicant waitlist tracking; coordinator uses daily) Simple photo documentation app (iOS Notes or Google Drive folder per unit for before/after repair photos) Contractor management: phone, email, basic scheduling (no software needed; coordinator manages via spreadsheet + calls) Weekly reporting: Google Sheets template exported to PDF for authority leadership

Original Problem

Government agencies struggle to efficiently allocate and manage public housing stock amid growing demand

Public housing authorities face critical challenges in matching available housing units to eligible applicants, managing waitlists that span years, and coordinating resources across fragmented systems. Current manual processes and outdated software create bottlenecks that leave vulnerable populations without shelter while housing units sit unoccupied or underutilized. Decision-makers need better visibility into housing inventory, applicant needs, and outcomes to address the homelessness and affordability crisis.
