Kanso Public Housing is software for public housing authorities managing applicant, tenant, inspection, accounting and reporting workflows. It follows households from application through the waiting list to tenancy. Staff can schedule inspections, track progress, create work orders from inspection results or requests, and manage costs and tenant billing. Tenant accounting calculates and posts rent or loan charges and records activity and payments in a ledger. For HUD reporting, Kanso prefills Form 50058 data and creates records configurable for IMS/PIC or HIP export. Its Multi-Site feature gives each agency a secure environment while designated users can access consolidated All-Site Reporting. Two iPad apps support mobile inspections and work orders; portals work in mobile and tablet browsers. Shofcorp supports household and property data workflows and voucher data transmission. RentWatch provides certified rent-reasonableness reports using real-time data from over 300 sources, but requires AffordableHousing.com’s Premium package. Pricing is available by contacting Kanso.
