Rent Reporting Fit

Why is rent reporting a good fit for your agency?

If you have worked to set up a rent reporting program in the past, please describe the current state of your program and how additional implementation training and technical assistance would be helpful.

If selected, would you offer rent reporting to your entire portfolio? If not, please describe the size and portion of your portfolio that you would target.

Do you offer other types of supportive services to your tenants (for example, FSS, homeownership pathways, tenant leadership opportunities, financial literacy)? If so, please describe.

How do you foresee rent reporting fitting in with other programs/services your agency offers?

What lessons have you learned from rolling out other types of programming or services that may apply to how you roll out rent reporting?

Who on your team will be responsible for managing the program internally (if you don’t have a specific person in mind, please let us know generally which department you think will take it on, and how you will boost their capacity to take this on)?

How do you plan to sustain the program beyond this funding?

Is there anything else that you'd like to share?
