For community-based and community-service organizations

Make housing support easier to deliver.

Less admin. Better matches. More mission-focused work. Annum gives your counselors one consented member record, eligibility explanations they can stand behind, and a case workspace that moves a household from intake to a leased unit without re-keying.

Synthetic The demo runs entirely on fictitious households, programs and properties.

forced to take a second job or extra hours

Housing costs are pushing the people your programs serve into second jobs, shared housing and delayed moves. Support exists — too often it doesn't reach people in time, and your team spends the hours it should spend with families chasing paperwork.

Why now

Your advantage starts here

Reduce wasted time & headaches

Intake once. Consents, evidence, matches, applications, tasks and communications live on one record; missing documents clear themselves when verified.

Improve program & placement flow

Dorothy scores every active program and available unit and explains each criterion — pass, uncertain or fail. Your counselors decide; nothing goes to a member until they do.

Show your impact more clearly

Utilization, reach and outcomes are computed from the same record your team works in, so funder conversations start from live numbers, not a quarter-end export.
