If you’re managing affordable housing units, you know how important it is to have quick, easy, and comprehensive access to your data. Without this accessibility, you are likely wasting time and energy in areas that shouldn’t be so demanding.
Fortress helps affordable housing owners and managers get the most out of their information and leverage powerful integration tools to make operations more efficient and less time consuming. We do this by offering:
Centralized compliance with clean electronic document management
Our affordable housing product creates a seamless experience for compliance and onsite teams by removing the need to work outside of the system. It’s no longer necessary to utilize other file sharing software or emails — it’s all completed and exchanged within the same system.
On Fortress’ centralized compliance screen, users can easily keep track of which compliance packets need to be reviewed. It also allows you to go directly into each resident’s file, complete action items, and submit files electronically. Users can also easily sort and view the last submission details — all at a glance.
Up-to-the-minute data is also easily exportable into a PDF or CSV file, which allows you to dive deeper into each resident’s profile. You’ll see household information, such as communication and activities, ledgers, lease details, and more.
Dedicated screens for progress monitoring
Fortress centralizes and tracks all households in one view — making it easy to manage actions like rent roll. And since many of the screens in Fortress act as “living reports”, data can easily be filtered to help users find exactly what they’re looking for.
This saves our users time by eliminating the need to sift through multiple or irrelevant reports. Instead, you have exactly what you need at your fingertips in a matter of minutes. You can see a quick summary of each household, track lease end dates, evictions, compare prior and current rent amounts — even track subsidy rent, which is a big benefit for any affordable housing unit.
Users also have the flexibility to pull additional columns onto their screen and then sort and filter that information. Fortress even remembers your column preferences, so even when you’re logging in and out, you’ll have immediate access to your favorite view.
Integrations that work for you
With our Sage Intacct integration, you can use Fortress to manage all applicant and resident receivables — either individually or using batch processing. For affordable housing managers in particular, this simple batch processing can be used for easily posting subsidy payments.
For credit and criminal screening of applicants, the Fortress system uses TransUnion to find the most qualified renters for your property. We also make recommendations based on the stipulations you set up with TransUnion during onboarding.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what people ask about this topic. Still curious? Talk to our team.
Contact UsHow does Fortress help manage affordable housing compliance?
Fortress puts compliance work inside one system instead of scattered across email threads and outside file-sharing tools. On the centralized compliance screen, you see which packets need review, open each resident file, complete action items, and submit files electronically. You can also sort and view last submission details at a glance. Onsite and compliance teams work the same screen, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Can I track subsidy rent in Fortress?
Yes. Fortress tracks subsidy rent alongside other household data on its living-report screens. In one view you can see a household summary, track lease end dates and evictions, and compare prior and current rent amounts without pulling multiple reports. That is a real time saver for affordable housing teams who otherwise need to cross-reference several places to get the same picture.
Does Fortress integrate with Sage Intacct for affordable housing accounting?
Yes. The Sage Intacct integration lets you manage all applicant and resident receivables inside Fortress, either one at a time or with batch processing. For affordable housing managers, batch processing makes posting subsidy payments simple instead of handling each one by hand. That is one less place data has to be entered twice.
How does Fortress screen affordable housing applicants?
Fortress uses TransUnion for credit and criminal screening to help find qualified renters. The system also makes recommendations based on the stipulations you set up with TransUnion during onboarding, so screening follows the rules your property already has in place. No manual comparison to a separate checklist needed.
How does Fortress handle document management for affordable housing?
Document work stays inside one system, so teams no longer need separate file-sharing software or email to exchange files. You complete and review documents in the same place you manage residents, and up-to-the-minute data exports to PDF or CSV. From there you can dig into each resident profile, including household communication, ledgers, and lease details.
Can I customize the household views in Fortress?
Yes. Fortress screens work as living reports, so you can pull additional columns onto your screen, then sort and filter to find exactly what you need. Fortress remembers your column preferences too, so your favorite view is ready each time you log in. That is one less thing to set up every morning.
