BOCA RATON, FLA., June 20, 2011 – GoSection8.com, the largest rental listing service for Section 8 landlords, tenants and public housing authorities in the United States, recently earned national recognition for its affordable housing portal and new deconcentration tool. The Fort Worth Housing Authority won a National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Organization (NAHRO) award for its use of the GoSection8.com portal and the new Deconcentration Controller product, which enables housing authorities to better comply with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines.
“Working in tandem with our portal, the new deconcentration tool assists housing authorities in identifying low poverty areas that are a good match for affordable housing,” said Richard Cupelli, president of GoSection8.com. “The Fort Worth Housing Authority has been at the forefront of using technology to benefit tenants and landlords, and we congratulate them on the award.”GoSection8.com maintains a proprietary database that has become the country’s premier source for information on the Section 8 Rental Voucher Program. The continually updated database distributes rental listings online and in the lobbies of hundreds of housing agencies across the country in order to connect tenants with landlords seeking guaranteed rent.
The new Deconcentration Controller feature enables housing authorities to compare and analyze the availability of rental units against Census Tract data. The technology assists in pinpointing areas of low and high poverty so that housing authorities can modify marketing efforts, comply with requirements for HUD assistance, improve grant applications and meet eligibility for Empowerment Zone and Neighborhood Revitalization funding.
“The GoSection8.com portal and associated software bring state-of-the-art technology to families for whom we are committed to assisting at the highest possible levels,” said Selarstean Mitchell, Vice-President of Assisted Housing for the Fort Worth Housing Authority.
GoSection8.com also provides public housing authority administrators the most comprehensive “rent reasonable” database in the industry. The company’s Rent Watch software product enables housing authorities to achieve rent reasonable certifications required by HUD.
