What is a compliance hub?
A compliance hub is a centralized system for organizing the records, tasks, deadlines, approvals, and evidence connected to compliance work. For housing agencies, it brings tenant and participant documentation into structured electronic files, making it easier to track recertifications, locate notices or verifications, manage sensitive cases, and prepare materials for monitoring or audit requests.
How does FileVision ETR organize tenant records?
FileVision ETR organizes documents by household and transaction rather than only by document type. A file can group the forms, evidence, notices, correspondence, and approvals associated with events such as intake, annual recertification, interim changes, move-ins, grievances, and move-outs. This structure mirrors day-to-day housing workflows and helps staff retrieve a complete event history.
Can FileVision support HUD review and audit preparation?
FileVision ETR helps agencies organize, complete, and retrieve the documentation commonly requested during HUD monitoring, internal reviews, and external audits. Teams can use structured files, checklists, workflow status, search, audit trails, and role-based access to assemble evidence efficiently. The platform supports readiness, while review outcomes remain dependent on each agency’s policies, practices, and documentation.
Does the platform replace a PHA ERP or rent ledger?
No. FileVision ETR is a specialized electronic tenant-record and document-workflow platform, not a full PHA ERP, rent ledger, lease-accounting system, or eligibility calculation engine. It complements core housing systems by organizing the supporting documentation, correspondence, forms, approvals, and evidence that staff need to manage throughout each household’s lifecycle.
How are confidential tenant records protected?
FileVision ETR uses role-based access controls to help agencies limit sensitive records to authorized staff. This is particularly useful for accommodation requests, grievances, appeals, and other confidential files. Agencies can define access according to job responsibilities and operational needs, helping teams maintain appropriate separation while preserving a complete, retrievable record for approved users.
Can we track missing documents and upcoming deadlines?
Yes. Configurable checklists, workflow status, reminders, and escalations can help teams identify incomplete files and time-sensitive activities. Agencies can use these tools to monitor items such as recertifications, reviews, approvals, and pending documentation. Alert channels and exact configurations should be confirmed during implementation to ensure they fit the agency’s established processes.
Can existing paper and electronic files be moved into ETR?
FileVision ETR supports document capture, scanning, and import from approved electronic sources, allowing agencies to add incoming documents and digitize legacy paper records. OCR, indexing, metadata, and enterprise search help make information easier to classify and retrieve. Bulk conversion scope, document preparation, and migration procedures should be planned around the agency’s file volume and priorities.
Does FileVision integrate with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint?
FileVision can connect ETR workflows and tenant-record structures with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint where appropriate. This approach allows agencies to retain familiar Microsoft tools while adding housing-specific organization, metadata, and workflow. The exact integration design, Teams experience, and supported configurations should be confirmed before implementation to match your agency’s technology environment.
