Continuums of Care around the country improve their housing outcomes using Padmission Journey and Padmission Connect through technology-enabled system design, not effort alone.  

Padmission produces software empowering technology-enabled system design in Continuums of Care around the nation, enabling homelessness response systems to coordinate housing search, landlord engagement, and rental assistance program administration.  

As part of HOM’s work centralizing rental assistance programs and housing services throughout Arizona and Los Angeles, we use Padmission software to support landlord engagement, housing search coordination, and housing program administration.  

Designed specifically for Housing-focused systems of care, Padmission’s mission is simple: help communities move people into homes faster and support them in staying stably housed longer. By combining modern software with decades of programmatic expertise, Padmission streamlines housing search, landlord engagement, program administration, and compliance. The result is a more efficient system that helps individuals and families secure housing sooner while strengthening outcomes for the communities that serve them.  

Padmission delivers this through two specialized products that work seamlessly together:  

• Padmission Connect — Landlord engagement and housing search assistance  
• Padmission Journey — Housing program management and financial assistance administration 

When used in tandem, housing programs and homelessness response systems use Padmission software to streamline housing search and rental assistance workflows, making housing programs work better whether you’re a participant searching for housing, a case manager supporting clients, a landlord looking to fill units, or a program administrator managing subsidies and compliance.

What Is Padmission?  

Padmission is more than just another housing portal. It is purpose-built for the unique needs of homeless response systems. Landlords list available units, participants and case managers conduct targeted searches, and programs stay fully compliant with HUD rules — all in one intuitive platform.  

What started as a focused tool has evolved into the largest provider of property engagement software to the homeless service sector. It is recognized in HUD guidelines and trusted by organizations across the country because it delivers measurable results: shorter search-to-move-in times, higher housing success rates, and better financial visibility.  

Padmission is divided into two complementary products, so every part of the housing process is optimized. Here’s exactly how they work — and how they’re different.  

Padmission Journey: Housing Program Management & Financial Assistance Administration  

Padmission Journey unlocks efficiency and improved outcomes for your homeless housing assistance programs.   

When a referral is made to a program in HMIS, Journey supports the agency throughout all stages of the tenancy lifecycle. After being referred to a housing program, housing specialists verify income in Journey before starting the housing search in Connect.  

Who It Helps & What You Can Do  

Padmission Journey is the only turn-key solution specifically designed for homeless housing assistance programs.  

• Case Managers & Support Teams: Follow an end-to-end workflow that keeps every step — from leasing to ongoing compliance — organized and integrated with your support services.  
• Program Administrators: Manage multiple funding sources, track expenses across funders, and see real-time financial utilization so you never overspend or miss a deadline.  
• Everyone Involved: Run inspections, maintain records, calculate subsidies, and ensure full HUD compliance — all without spreadsheets, paper, or outdated legacy systems.  

Key Capabilities of Padmission Journey 

• Workflow built specifically to optimize the housing assistance process  
• End-to-end program management by funding source  
• Support for Rapid Rehousing and multiple subsidy models (including percent-of-rent calculations)  
• Built-in Inspections Platform for Housing Quality Standards (HQS) — with NSPIRE standards coming soon  
• Native Mobile Inspections Apps — conduct inspections in the field with or without internet, use voice-to-text for notes, capture photos of rooms and items  
• Immediate visibility into financial utilization and expense tracking  
• Modern, intuitive interface that is far easier to use than legacy PHA software  
• Highly configurable to match your exact program rules  

Journey eliminates paper, prevents re-entry of data, and gives administrators instant insight into budgets and compliance status.

Padmission Connect: Landlord Engagement & Housing Search Assistance  

Padmission Connect is a web-based platform for homeless services organizations to manage property engagement efforts and assist individuals and families in their housing search.

Padmission Connect was custom built for the sole purpose of connecting people experiencing homelessness with property owners and managers who have available units.

You can view photos, floor plans, and details right on the platform.  
• Case Managers and Housing Navigators: Connect gives you the tools to assist clients efficiently so you can focus on housing stability and support services. Partner with clients throughout the search, submit inquiries, and coordinate viewings — all in one place.  
• Property Owners and Managers: List your properties and units for free. Reach pre-qualified participants from trusted housing programs, lease up faster, reduce marketing costs, and become a valued partner in ending homelessness.  
• Your Community/Continuum of Care: Coordinate housing location efforts at a systems level. Track performance across programs and expand housing opportunities for everyone.  

Key Capabilities of Padmission Connect
