Haven Connect was founded with one simple goal in mind: get people into affordable housing faster. Since then we've helped 115,000 people submit more than 250,000 affordable housing applications -- 275,000 as of today. And we're just getting started.

Today we're excited to announce a new feature that we think will help get people into affordable housing even faster -- Online Document Collection

Collecting eligibility documents like paystubs and government-issued IDs has been a big bottleneck in the affordable housing application process. It’s common for people to forget documents or to bring expired documents, which means multiple round trips to and from the property manager’s office. Not only is this a pain for busy working people and people with mobility issues, but this also takes up a lot of time for property managers. In fact, this whole process can take up to 8 weeks to complete, leaving affordable units vacant in the meantime.

To solve this issue, we're enabling applicants to upload their documents from any Internet-enabled device, including mobile phones. So in addition to finding and applying to affordable housing from anywhere, applicants will now be able to submit their eligibility documents from anywhere.

For property managers, this means your applicants can build eligibility packets for you. Instead of coordinating calendars and wrangling documents during multiple appointments, property managers can now review documents whenever they want, and then invite applicants to come in and sign the lease only once they’re ready. We think this is going to be a huge time saver.

Here's what it looks like for applicants:

And here’s what it looks like for property managers:
