Padmission: HOM’s New Online Housing Search Platform

We’re incredibly excited to share our latest innovation in our efforts to end homelessness. Padmission is our new web-based housing search platform custom-built for our housing program participants, their case managers and landlords.

How Padmission Works

Padmission is like other online housing search services in that it allows landlords to list and market their properties to prospective tenants. However, Padmission is different because it is a closed platform just for HOM-assisted housing programs. Landlords indicate which of the HOM housing programs they accept in their listings. This way, participants and case managers can search for properties and units that accept the housing program that they participate in. Additionally, HOM staff work alongside our landlord partners to update the listings so that the information is always updated. As a result, Padmission makes the housing search process much easier and faster for everyone involved!

HOM Staff

Our team is dedicated to supporting all our customers in using Padmission successfully. Our Ownership Support team and Housing Location Specialist will provide training and support to our landlords to assist them in managing their properties in the app. HOM Housing Specialists will support our participants and case manager users. Our goal is to make it easier for landlords to market their units to our participants and for our participants to find and secure housing quickly. Powerful analytics in Padmission will help us to measure our efforts in landlord recruitment and connecting participants to housing.
