While property owners and operators are always subject to market conditions, HOM’s housing partner services are designed to make it easier for owners and operators to connect with qualified households receiving rental assistance.
As a HOM housing partner, you have access to:
- Padmission, our internet-based listing system that makes it easy to list available units, add property details, and update availability.
- Support from the HOM team to help you navigate the listing process, keep your information current, and connect with households looking for housing opportunities.
Our goal is to make the process simple, efficient, and supportive for property owners while helping more individuals and families find stable housing.
No. HOM is not a voucher program. HOM administers housing assistance programs and provides housing-focused services that support property owners, participants, and community partners.
Through our landlord engagement services, HOM helps strengthen housing programs by providing resources, communication, technology tools, and support that make it easier for property owners and operators to participate in housing programs.
Yes. Similar to any other prospective tenant, property owners and operators use their standard rental application process, approval procedures, and tenant screening criteria for their properties.
HOM helps connect property owners with households receiving rental assistance who are searching for available housing opportunities. Property owners maintain their normal screening and leasing practices throughout the process.
HOM uses Padmission, an internet-based listing system that helps connect available rental units with households and housing professionals searching for housing opportunities.
Property owners can use Padmission to:
- List available properties and units.
- Provide important details such as location, rent amount, unit size, amenities, and availability.
- Update vacancy information as units become available or are leased.
The HOM team provides support to help property owners create listings, update information, and make the most of the platform.
Padmission is one of the tools HOM uses to simplify communication between property owners, housing programs, and households seeking housing.
Rapid Rehousing (RRH) is a housing assistance program designed to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness quickly move into permanent housing and achieve housing stability.
Unlike Permanent Supportive Housing, which serves individuals with the highest and most intensive housing and service needs, Rapid Rehousing provides short-term rental assistance and supportive services to households that need temporary assistance to regain stability.
Through Rapid Rehousing programs:
- Participants receive rental assistance and supportive services from housing stabilization case management providers and community service partners.
- Participants contribute toward rent and utilities based on their income and applicable program guidelines.
- Rental assistance gradually decreases as participants increase income and move toward self-sufficiency.
For participating property owners and operators, HOM provides:
- The remaining portion of approved contract rent paid directly to the property owner or operator.
- Support throughout the leasing and tenancy process.
- Coordination with housing partners and service providers when needed.
HOM is committed to supporting property owners and creating successful housing partnerships. Our team works to provide responsive communication, clear guidance, and resources that help make renting to households transitioning out of homelessness a positive experience.
HOM has a team dedicated to supporting property owners and housing partners. Our team can help answer questions related to payments, program requirements, tenant concerns, documentation, and coordination with housing stabilization case management providers and community partners.
If a concern arises during a tenancy, please contact HOM as soon as possible so our team can help identify next steps.
In the event of an emergency, property owners should follow their standard safety and emergency procedures, just as they would with any other tenant. HOM does not expect property owners or managers to serve as crisis responders or service providers.
If a property owner is eligible for available risk mitigation protections under an applicable housing program, claims can be submitted through HOM’s established process.
To submit a claim, complete the required documentation and provide any supporting information requested by HOM. A member of the HOM team will review the submission and follow up regarding next steps.
HOM’s housing partner support team is available to assist property owners with questions related to program requirements, payments, tenancy concerns, and coordination with community partners.
If you have a concern, contact the HOM team so we can help provide guidance and determine the appropriate next steps.
For emergencies involving health or safety concerns, please use your property’s standard emergency procedures and contact the appropriate emergency services when needed.
Thank you for helping expand housing opportunities in our communities. Property owners and managers play an important role in creating more housing options for individuals and families.
