Arcori PM Affordable Housing vs Simply Computer Federal Housing Assistant

Arcori PM for Affordable Housing is a web-based property management solution for affordable housing organizations. It brings together tenant and property records, accounting, maintenance, document management and workflows for specialized government programs. Its listed housing functions include waitlists, eligibility workflows, rent calculations, RGI and market rents, forms and year-end reporting. Tenant records can cover the path from applicant to former tenant, with leases, financial and payment history, notes, reminders and attachments. Rent collection options include ACH/EFT, check scanning, pre-authorized payments and batch payments. The accounting module updates the general ledger as other modules process transactions and provides drill-down financial information. Reports support cash-basis and accrual accounting and can be exported to PDF, Excel or Word. Maintenance tools cover work orders, preventative maintenance, inspections, capital planning, and labor and material cost tracking. Arcori says it can customize the software and develop an implementation plan around an organization’s needs. Pricing is available on request. The standalone mobile work order app is currently in development.

Simply Computer Federal Housing Assistant, also called FHA Software, automates affordable-housing compliance for Rural Development, HUD, and LIHTC projects. The Windows software monitors occupancy requirements and alerts users to discrepancies. Chronological histories preserve project changes and tenant certifications for processing forms or reports covering past, current, or future periods. Management tools include waiting lists, work orders, purchase orders, unit inventory, dashboards, multi-property reporting, and recertification notices. Registered clients can connect online pre-applications, receive submitted information as CSV attachments, and import it into a waiting list. RD/MINC XML submissions and HUD electronic submissions through the built-in iMAX Communications feature are supported. The maker also describes layered RD/HUD and LIHTC compliance without additional modules or tenant data entry. Built-in accounting supports cash and accrual methods across multiple projects. Interfaces include ADP, QuickBooks Intuit, Prisma, PayLease, and RentPayment. It runs on Windows 11-compatible computers and Windows cloud servers.
