Compliance

Certus Housing

“LIHTC compliance, automated”

Low-income housing tax credit compliance is one of the most paperwork-intensive regulatory environments in real estate. Annual certifications, income recalculations, unit eligibility tracking, and regulatory reporting — all manual, all high-stakes, all audit-exposed. Certus digitizes the entire compliance workflow.

The Problem

—Annual recertifications require income verification for every tenant, every year.
—Income calculation errors create compliance violations that risk tax credit recapture.
—Tracking eligibility across hundreds of units manually is error-prone and slow.
—Regulatory reporting deadlines are fixed — late submissions have consequences.
—Audit preparation is a scramble because records are scattered across spreadsheets and paper.
