Fnd local programs, financial aid, and housing opportunities you may already qualify for—and use them to make home more affordable.

Get Started

/ powered by a simple belief

A community works better when the people who keep it running can afford to live there.

Today, too many working families are ‘doing everything right’ and still falling behind on housing. Costs rise. Options shrink. Help is hard to find.

We believe that every essential and middle-income worker should be able to afford a home that meets their needs in their community. We believe that housing support should be easier
to access, easier to use, and available before a family reaches a breaking point.

This is why Annum exists: to help people find real support sooner. And to help communities respond before housing pressure turns into crisis.

Real Results for Communities

All Case Studies

Across the country, communities are looking for better ways increase access to affordable homes, strengthen local workforces, and make housing support easier to use. Here are a few examples of what that looks like in practice.

/ Why Annum Exists

Housing support exists. Too often, it doesn’t reach people in time.

Billions of dollars are spent on housing support, and thousands of programs, incentives, and services already exist. But for many working families, especially middle-income households, help is still too hard to find, too hard to navigate, or too easy to assume is not meant for them.

Community-based organizations are doing critical work, but they are often left manually sorting through fragmented programs, misaligned applications, and overwhelming demand. At the same time, policymakers and program designers are often working from backward-lookingdata that shows the damage after it is done, not the resident-level strain building in real time.
‍
This is not a failure of effort. It is a failure of infrastructure

Annum makes housing support easier to find, easier to qualify for, and easier to use — while helping communities see needs sooner and respond more effectively.

/ How it Works

Connecting People to Housing That Actually Works

We turn complex housing challenges into clear, actionable pathways—helping residents, employers, and communities move forward with confidence.

/ 01

We listen to Residents

We learn about unmet housing needs, barriers, and challenges.
What is making housing hard for them right now.

/ 02

We connect residents with housing support that meets their needs and they may already qualify for.

Annum aggregates local, regional, and national support programs, financial assistance, and available units into a single system. Residents are matched to available programs (rental assistance, deposit assistance, homebuyer support, education, etc) with streamlined application, approval, and engagement workflows that improve follow-through and reduce misaligned or unqualified applications.

/ 03

Where gaps exist, Annum empowers employers and community partners to develop new solutions.

These can include housing initiatives to recruit for high-demand roles, boost homeownership among specific worker segments, or other business goals. Annum can also help align capital partners and opportunities to build/buy new inventory or manage existing units.
