Resident Portal

The Public House Resident Portal serves as a secure, mobile-accessible hub for residents to complete annual compliance tasks, submit documentation, and communicate important updates.

Access is available through one-click email authentication or the program’s login page. All content is translated into the resident’s preferred language, supporting a more inclusive and user-friendly experience.

What Residents Can Do in the Portal

Residents use the portal to manage key program responsibilities, including:

Complete Annual Occupancy Surveys

Each year, residents are prompted to complete a custom survey certifying their occupancy status. The portal walks them through:

  • Updating Household Details
  • A series of required questions
  • Uploading supporting documents
  • Attestation to program rules and continued eligibility
  • Optional electronic signature

Once submitted, a signed PDF of the survey answers and uploaded documents is automatically generated and stored in your linked cloud storage for audit and recordkeeping purposes.

Notify of Major Changes

Residents can also use the portal to notify the housing organization of changes such as:

  • Intent to Sell
  • Refinance or Loan Modification
  • Home Improvement Projects
  • General homeowner stewardship or support needs

Update Household Information

To help maintain accurate records, residents are prompted to confirm or update their household composition each time they log into the portal. They can also update their contact details — such as email or phone number — to ensure they continue receiving important program communications.

Key Features

Annual Survey Monitoring

Dashboards provide staff with real-time insight into survey activity and resident engagement, including:
