Turning housing inspections into action and accountability

Crow Canyon helped a housing authority strengthen oversight of property conditions and repair follow-through, connecting inspections, maintenance information and reporting.

Less administrative effort. Findings, photographs and reports in one place.
More consistent inspections. One standard approach across properties, shared areas and units.
Stronger accountability. Issues stay visible until resolved, with before and after photos.
Clearer priorities. Health and safety items are due in 1 day, others in 30, with daily reminders.
Better management decisions. Open and overdue deficiencies roll up by property across the portfolio.

One property record

Helping housing authorities take control of property portfolios

Housing operations, relocation, planning and other departments now contribute to one shared property record for the scattered-site portfolio, so staff can find units, update details and open documents in one place.

Less administrative effort. Property details fill in automatically, cutting repeat data entry.
More consistent records. Unique Unit ID checks prevent duplicates.
Clearer visibility into vacancies. Dynamic vacancy calculations show which units need attention.
Better management insight. Excel exports of property, occupancy and disposition data for planning.
