Inhabit Affordable Housing Software vs ReFrame Assist

Inhabit Affordable Housing Software is a suite for property managers handling affordable housing programs. Its compliance coverage includes HUD, low-income housing tax credit, Rural Development, and other programs, with eligibility workflows and compliance reporting. The suite includes the ResMan property management platform, designed for multifamily and affordable housing communities, including mid- to large-market operators and affordable housing providers. ResMan offers accounting, budgeting, reporting, marketing, utility billing, online leasing, a resident portal, CRM, text messaging, and payments. Its compliance dashboard covers HUD, low-income housing tax credit, and Rural Development properties.

Inhabit says its property management solutions provide cloud-based document storage accessible from any location, and reporting can be customized to show property performance and help troubleshoot issues. Payments software supports rent, application fees, utility bills, security deposits, and other payments. The broader suite also lists resident screening, websites and digital marketing, and learning management. The software is paid, with pricing on request; the affordable housing page directs prospective customers to schedule a demo.

ReFrame Assist is a cloud-hosted software suite for public housing agencies administering federal, state, and local programs, including Moving to Work. It brings application processing and eligibility determination together with applicant, tenant, and owner portals, back-office operations, a general ledger, and mobile inspections. Supported programs include MTW 50058, MTW Expansion 50058, and 50059. Applicants can update details, track application progress, upload documents, and send secure portal messages. Tenants can upload documents, review payment history, and recertify information; landlords can view payment and inspection details for their tenants and properties. Back-office tools include role-based permissions, electronic records, configurable calculations, compliance reporting, and generated 58-based correspondence. The general ledger covers accounts payable and receivable, fixed assets, payroll integration, and budgets. Tablet-based inspections work on Android and iOS, online or offline. The suite is described as mobile responsive, ADA compliant, and supportive of language preferences. Pricing is available on request.
