Software for the 21st century: what LHAs will need
Article Abstract:
Computer technology will continue to play a significant role in the housing and community development (H/CD) industry in the 21st century. In choosing software programs, local housing authorities should look for those that have a Section 8 Module supporting all federal and state Section 8 programs, are fully SEMAP and PHMAP compliant, and can create Housing Assistance Plans automatically. H/CD professionals will also benefit from computer programs that offer an integrated purchase system, an employee payroll package, an accounts receivable and accounts payable module, a housing accounting General Ledger support, and a fully automatic year-end and month-end processing. LHAs should likewise consider selecting vendors that provide free software changes mandated by the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development for the entire lifetime of the software.
