/ COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS

Make housing support easier
to deliver.

Annum helps community-based organizations reduce mismatched applications, manage waitlists more efficiently, stay connected to residents as needs change, and show the impact of their programs, services, and housing opportunities in real time.

/ Purpose Built for CBO's

Less admin.
Better matches.
More mission-focused work.

CBOs represent the most important front-line housing work in the community. But too often, that work gets bogged down by mismatched applications, fragmented referrals, outdated waitlists, and too much manual follow-up.

Annum helps reduce that friction.

We remove the busywork so your team can spend less time sorting, chasing, and calling —and more time on the work that moves your mission forward.

For organizations that manage their own housing units, deliver resident education, support placement, and coordinate with landlords, developers, and other partners across the community.


Annum makes that work easier to coordinate.

/ What Support Looks Like

Your Advantage Starts Here

Reduce wasted time & headaches

Cut down on incomplete, unqualified, or misaligned applications so your team can focus on the residents and cases that are the best fit for your
programs.

Improve program & placement flow

Manage referrals, follow-through, waitlists, resident communication, and housing placement in a more coordinated way....without creating more work for your staff.

Show your impact more clearly

See what residents need, which programs are being used, where demand is building, and how placements and support are performing in real-time

/ How it Works

Simple to launch. Practical to use.

Step 1: Residents share what they need

Residents use Annum to describe their housing needs, challenges, and goals in plain language. That gives your organization a clearer picture of what is happening now — not just what shows up
after a crisis.

Step 2: Annum helps match people to their best-fit programs, services, and housing options

We work with CBOs to create a database of eligibility, goals, and requirements for each of your programs, then seamlessly guide the best-matched residents toward the programs, education, services, and housing opportunities based on their needs and eligibility — reducing noise, improving
follow-through, and lowering the percentage of mismatched applications and referrals.

Step 3: Your team gets better tools and better visibility

Manage demand more efficiently, track resident-level progress, stay connected as needs evolve, and better understand the real-world impact of their programs over time.

Will this create more work for our staff?

That is the opposite of our goal. Annum is built to reduce manual sorting, repetitive follow-up,mismatched applications, and fragmented communication, so your team can spend more time where it matters most.

Are you replacing our intake process?

No. Annum is designed to reduce friction around intake, matching, communication, and follow-through — not to replace the expertise or specialized processes your team already brings. We support the work you do and help make it easier to manage at scale.

Can Annum help us manage waitlists and ongoing resident communication?

Absolutely. Annum helps organizations maintain a connection with residents over time, enabling them to better understand changing needs, improve follow-through, and keep demand data more current.

Can Annum support more than just housing programs

Yes. Many CBOs use Annum to support more than program applications alone. That can include education, service referrals, housing unit placement, waitlist management, and coordination with landlords, developers, and other community partners.
