For housing agencies, property owners, and the renters they serve—AffordableHousing.com has launched two major updates designed to streamline the housing process and reduce the load on your teams.

The new Housing Assistant makes it easier for renters to find the right listings, while QuikMatch has been upgraded to better connect property owners with motivated, qualified tenants. Together, these tools help improve placement speed, reduce vacancies, and cut down on manual follow-up.

Meet Housing Assistant: Personalized Matches for Renters in Real Time

Renters often struggle with where to start. Housing agencies often step in to help—but that takes time and resources.

The Housing Assistant is a new smart tool that reduces the need for manual search support from housing agency staff, shortens the time it takes for renters to find a unit, and makes better use of everyone’s time. By asking renters a few quick questions, it is able to establish their preferences, budget, market, voucher status, and more and then instantly scour thousands of listings to deliver them links to properties that actually fit their needs. Even better, property owners can reach out directly, helping move things forward faster.

This reduces the need for manual search support from housing agency staff, shortens the time it takes for renters to find a unit, and makes better use of everyone’s time.

QuikMatch Just Got Smarter, Faster, and More Reliable

We’ve also rolled out major enhancements to QuikMatch, the lead-matching tool that helps property owners connect with high-intent renters.

These updates are all about quality and speed:

• Smarter Matching: An improved algorithm boosts matches based on renter behavior and motivation—not just profile data.

• More Verified Prospects: Unmotivated or unresponsive leads are filtered out, so owners see the most serious renters first.

• Faster Communication: See when messages are opened, use auto replies, and get quicker responses.

• 2-for-1 Credit Value: One credit now covers both text and email outreach.

This means less time spent chasing down leads and more time securing leases.

Why This Matters for Housing Agencies

Both tools were built with your challenges in mind. They help reduce workload, accelerate placements, and make the rental experience more seamless for everyone involved.

• Fewer support requests from renters who need help searching

• Faster turnaround on placements, especially for voucher holders

• Improved visibility for your partner property owners

• Stronger renter-owner connections, all within a trusted platform
