What are advanced document solutions for housing authorities?
Advanced document solutions help housing authorities organize, govern, and retrieve tenant and participant records electronically. FileVision ETR centralizes documents in structured household files, connects them to lifecycle transactions such as intake and recertification, and supports search, workflow, access controls, and history tracking. It is designed to complement core occupancy and accounting systems rather than replace those operational platforms.
How does FileVision ETR organize tenant records?
FileVision ETR uses transaction-based file organization, grouping documents with the activity they support instead of storing everything only by document type. For example, evidence, forms, notices, and approvals connected to an annual recertification can remain together. This approach helps staff review file completeness, understand a household’s history, and retrieve the right documentation quickly.
Can FileVision help us convert paper tenant files to digital records?
Yes. FileVision supports document capture, scanning, and import so agencies can digitize legacy paper files and add approved electronic documents to structured tenant records. As documents enter the system, they can be indexed and organized by household and transaction. Agencies can adopt a phased approach, digitizing incoming work while planning conversion of historical files.
Does FileVision integrate with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint?
FileVision can connect ETR workflows and tenant-record structure with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint where appropriate. This allows agencies to retain familiar Microsoft tools while adding housing-specific organization, metadata, and workflow capabilities. The appropriate integration scope depends on the agency’s tenant structure, processes, permissions, and existing Microsoft environment, so details should be confirmed during planning.
How does role-based access protect confidential records?
Role-based access controls limit record visibility according to a staff member’s assigned responsibilities. Agencies can use these controls to separate access to sensitive tenant, reasonable-accommodation, grievance, and other confidential files. This supports practical confidentiality while allowing authorized employees to work from office or remote locations. Agencies remain responsible for defining roles, permissions, and internal access policies.
Can FileVision support HUD reviews and audit preparation?
FileVision helps improve the organization, completeness, and retrievability of records requested during HUD monitoring, internal reviews, and audits. Teams can use structured files, checklists, workflow status, search, and audit history to locate supporting documentation efficiently. The platform supports audit readiness, but the results of any review depend on each agency’s policies, actions, and underlying documentation.
What records can be managed in FileVision ETR?
FileVision ETR can organize records across the tenant and participant lifecycle, including applications, eligibility support, leases, recertifications, interim changes, inspections, notices, grievances, accommodations, move-outs, and archived histories. It also supports Housing Choice Voucher, public housing, PBV, RAD, and mixed-finance documentation. The system is focused on records governance rather than rent ledgers, financing, or legal determinations.
How do we get started with FileVision document management?
Begin by identifying the record types, housing programs, workflows, and access roles your agency needs to manage. FileVision can then help define how tenant files, transactions, checklists, permissions, integrations, and document-capture processes should be configured. A demonstration is a useful first step for reviewing the ETR platform against current paper files, shared drives, and operational goals.
