RICHARDSON, TEXAS (August 8, 2017) – RealPage, Inc. (NASDAQ: RP), a leading global provider of software and data analytics to the real estate industry, announces that Mercy Housing, Inc., one of the nation’s largest nonprofit affordable housing organizations with regional offices across the U.S., has chosen to adopt RealPage’s property management software and compliance software solutions to manage multiple subsidy layers for its entire asset portfolio of more than 22,255 units at its 325 properties.
With approximately 90% of Mercy Housing’s properties–consisting of anywhere from two to as many as eight or more subsidy layers–the company initially had multiple complicated structures in place, limiting site staff’s ability to accomplish business objectives using only their general ledger software.
“The challenges to streamline Mercy Housing operations are unique,” said Jane Graf, President and CEO of Mercy Housing, “and site staff was forced to manage all subsidy layers outside of two or more manually and via spreadsheets. As we evaluated software providers, we knew we needed more than just an upgrade. We needed the best, and RealPage stood out as a software provider with a solution that could help our staff concentrate on what they do best: help residents.”
Mercy Housing has adopted a single, completely integrated software solution from RealPage that is designed for flexibility around its needs – from managing property waitlists, reporting around budgeting and forecasting, as well as consolidations and elimination, debt management, integrated screenings, customizable dashboards, annual re-certifications, managing unpaid claims, and pre-qualifying candidates.
And RealPage has made it easy to operate.
“The time demands that layers of regulations in affordable housing from federal, state, city and even neighborhood impose on Mercy Housing’s staff are formidable,” said Gustavo Sapiurka, Senior Vice President, OneSite Enterprise Solutions at RealPage. “We designed our offerings like OneSite Leasing and Rents Affordable to be flexible and customizable, to support the way Mercy Housing requires in order to thrive in this environment. Our solutions aren’t just built for efficiency in affordable housing. They’re built for growth,” Sapiurka said.
Graf makes one final point: “Our motto at Mercy Housing is ‘Live in Hope.’ Hope is the boost our residents often need to engage and succeed in today’s world. We’re excited to have RealPage on our team to help us live up to our motto.”
