Piecing Together the Affordable Housing Puzzle with Salesforce & Provisio’s Case Management Solutions
How Modern Programs for Affordable Housing Can Scale Impact, Improve Efficiency, and Better Serve Communities
Affordable housing is no longer a niche concern—it is a nationwide crisis. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the United States faces a shortage of more than 7.4 million affordable and available homes for extremely low-income renters. Today, there are only 37 affordable homes for every 100 households that need them.
The COVID-19 pandemic intensified this challenge. Job losses, rising living costs, and economic uncertainty pushed even more families to the brink of housing instability. As demand increases, affordable housing programs and other programs for affordable housing are under unprecedented pressure to do more with limited funding, staff, and resources.
Why Affordable Housing Programs Are Struggling to Scale
While funding and housing supply are major obstacles, technology has become a critical—and often overlooked—barrier. Many affordable housing programs rely on funder-mandated systems that are outdated, rigid, and difficult to customize. These legacy systems often fail to reflect the real workflows housing organizations need to support their communities.
As a result, housing staff are forced to rely on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual processes to fill the gaps. This leads to:
Increased administrative burden on staff
Inconsistent or incomplete client data
Limited visibility into resident progress and outcomes
Difficulty meeting complex reporting and compliance requirements
Without modern, flexible technology, even the most well-funded programs for affordable housing struggle to operate efficiently or demonstrate their full impact.
The Need for Modern Technology in Programs for Affordable Housing
To truly support residents from intake through long-term stability, affordable housing programs need systems that can manage the entire client lifecycle—not just fragments of it. That includes eligibility screening, case management, unit tracking, compliance reporting, and post-housing outcomes.
This is where purpose-built technology becomes a catalyst for change.
