Community-driven design and feature development: Public House listens to our active community of housing organizations to inform new feature development. We regularly survey our clients and hold focus groups to get their feedback on what they need and want from the platform.
Quarterly updates: Public House releases new updates every quarter to keep the system running smoothly and to add new functionality that our clients need.
Integrated Custom Development: Public House clients can individually or collectively fund custom development to expedite new feature releases. This is a great option for clients who need a specific feature that is not currently available on the platform. These enhancements are integrated into the platform so that all client housing organizations can benefit.
