Housing Authorities - DevBlock Collaboration

We Understand Your Challenges

Of course not all Housing Authorities are created equal but the vision, business objectives, and purpose across all remains the same. The organizations we have worked with recently share the same ideology; to help low income families with their living situations.

Housing Authorities have similar challenges regardless of their size, staff, or territory. Being a government agency, these organizations have to deal with forms and documents; often overwhelmingly so. Since focus can be divided between their properties and residents, it can be a daunting task to find the right document or information they need at the exact time they need it.

Housing Authority of Snohomish County

HASCO is a Housing Authority agency for Snohomish County in Washington State. Devblock helped HASCO develop a solution that would organize their content that would be conducive to document retention and records management. They also needed to create an environment that would promote interdepartmental collaboration and sharing of content yet allow departments to function independently when applicable.

How we helped:

Building an Intranet to improve collaboration and sharing
Developing a document management system that would properly manage organization content and improve the overall user experience
Develop an automated records management solution to ensure compliance to retention regulations
Deploy Microsoft Teams as a messaging, conference and short-term collaboration solution
Train staff on the use and management of the solution

Everett Housing Authority
