Open Source Government Software Solutions & Services

Government software solutions are applications designed to help public-sector organizations organize work, records, reporting, and internal processes. For housing authorities, FileVision focuses on electronic tenant and participant records, document workflows, search, access controls, and audit history. It complements core housing management systems by improving how supporting documents are captured, structured, routed, and retrieved across the resident lifecycle.

FileVision is presented as a purpose-built software solution provider for housing authorities and community development agencies. The available company information does not identify FileVision ETR as an open-source platform. Agencies evaluating it should confirm licensing, deployment, integration, configuration, data-management, and support requirements directly with FileVision to ensure the solution aligns with their technology and procurement policies.

Electronic Tenant Records can organize applicant intake, move-in, annual recertification, interim change, inspection, correspondence, grievance, reasonable-accommodation, move-out, and landlord documentation. Records are arranged by household and transaction, helping staff keep related forms, notices, evidence, approvals, and communications together. The platform supports document governance and retrieval rather than lease accounting, eligibility determinations, or legal interpretation.

Transaction-based organization groups documents around a specific housing event instead of storing them only by document type. For example, an annual recertification file can contain its checklist, verification evidence, forms, notices, and approvals together. This structure mirrors the work performed by occupancy and compliance teams, making it easier to verify completeness, understand the record history, and retrieve documents during a review.

FileVision can connect ETR workflows and tenant-record structure with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint where appropriate. This approach enables agencies to retain familiar Microsoft tools while adding housing-specific file organization, metadata, and workflow. The appropriate integration scope depends on the agency’s tenant-record structure, governance requirements, and existing Microsoft environment, so detailed capabilities should be confirmed during implementation planning.

FileVision helps agencies organize, track, and retrieve documentation used for HUD monitoring, internal reviews, and audits. Configurable checklists and workflow status can surface missing documents or exceptions, while audit trails and version history support accountability. The system can strengthen documentation readiness, but review outcomes remain dependent on the agency’s policies, operating practices, record content, and compliance decisions.

Yes. FileVision supports role-based access controls for records such as tenant files, reasonable-accommodation requests, grievances, and other sensitive documentation. Agencies can structure access so staff see the information required for their responsibilities. Permission design, retained audit detail, and access procedures should be configured to reflect the agency’s internal policies, operational roles, and applicable confidentiality obligations.

FileVision ETR is designed as a specialized tenant-record and document-workflow system, not a full PHA ERP, rent ledger, waitlist calculation engine, or inspection scoring tool. It can complement existing housing management systems by organizing supporting documents, workflows, and transaction records. Agencies should define system-of-record responsibilities and integration needs before implementation so staff understand where each activity and data element belongs.
