Working families need housing help.
Annum makes support more coordinated, visible, and effective.

Annum helps municipalities, counties, and economic development districts see residents' housing needs in real time, coordinate local housing support, and demonstrate measurable impact from the dollars already spent.

Get Started
/ WHY MUNICIPALITIES ARE PAYING ATTENTION

Your housing crisis is impacting more than just housing.

It is a workforce crisis. An economic crisis. A community stability crisis. A crisis of voter trust.
When the essential and middle-income workers who power your community can no longer afford to live there, the impact spreads quickly. Employers struggle to hire. Residents take on hidden financial pressure. Essential workers leave. And local leaders are asked to respond with fragmented systems and backward-looking data.

The challenge is not only a shortage of resources. It is a lack of coordination, visibility, and real-time insight into what residents are actually facing right now.
/ What Support Looks Like

How Annum Supports Real Housing Outcomes

From real-time visibility into resident needs to coordinated local ecosystems and measurable impact, Annum helps you move from fragmented efforts to connected, accountable housing solutions.

See real-time resident needs and housing pressures

Move beyond lagging reports. Annum gives you a real-time view of resident-level housing needs, barriers, and affordability strain that often does not show up clearly in Census or ACS data until much later.

Coordinate the housing ecosystem you already have

Bring together local programs, CBOs, employers, developers, housing partners, and available opportunities in a more connected system that is easier for residents to use and easier for your team tomanage.

Show real-world resident-level
impact clearly

Track what people need, which supports are being used, where demand is building, and how programs are performing over time so you can improve accountability, direct resources more effectively, and make a
stronger case for future

/ 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 connects and coordinates local support

We bring together local programs, financial assistance, housing opportunities, and community
partners into one connected system. Residents can be guided toward relevant supports, and local
organizations can work in a more coordinated way.

Step 3: Your team turns insight into action

See where pressure is building, which supports are being used, where gaps remain, and how housing action is performing over time. Use those insights to shape programs, allocate resources, support funding conversations, and plan what comes next.

Your Questions, Answered

Answers to common questions about how Annum supports employers—streamlining access to housing resources, reducing workforce instability, and strengthening employee retention.
What kind of data does Annum provide?

Annum gives you real-time resident-level insight into housing needs, barriers, demand patterns, program engagement, and affordability pressure. This includes signals that often do not appear clearly in traditional public data sources until much later.

Can annum power a public-facing dashboard for our community?

Yes. Annum can support a dashboard experience for your website, presentations, economic development materials, or stakeholder reporting. This helps communities communicate need, show progress, and build trust.

How does Annum help with accountability and funding?

Annum makes it easier to show what residents are facing, which programs are being used, where demand is growing, and where support is creating results. That can strengthen grant reporting, budget requests, public accountability, and future funding conversations.

Will this create more work for our team?

That is the opposite of our goal. Annum is built to reduce fragmentation, manual coordination, and reporting headaches while giving your team better visibility into what is happening across the housing ecosystem.

Who is responsible for populating housing programs and housing
inventory on the platform?

Annum is. Once we are live in your area, our team works with local community-based organizations, housing partners, developers, and other stakeholders to help ensure the platform reflects the local programs, supports, and housing opportunities available to residents. Our goal is to make it easier for people to see what is out there in one place, not put that administrative burden on your team.

Who can use the app?

Once Annum is live in your area, it can be made available to residents across the community. That is a key part of the model. We are not just serving one employer, one program, or one organization. We are creating a broader front door that helps residents more easily discover and access relevant housing support.

How do people find out about Annum?

Once we are live, we work with community-based organizations, local employers, and other trusted community partners to help spread the word. In some cases, we also work directly with localgovernment on broader awareness efforts. Annum has a team that creates customizable, ready-to- use outreach materials across a wide range of channels, including email, posters, digital content,video, media, and more. Our goal is always to meet people where they are and join the housing and affordability conversations already happening in the community.

Is resident information private?

Yes. Individual resident information is protected and used to connect people to relevant housing support. Public-facing reporting and dashboards are designed to show patterns, pressure, and outcomes without exposing private personal information.

What does success look like?

At the individual level, success looks like a resident discovering support they did not know they qualified for, finding an affordable home they did not know was available, or receiving help that removes a real barrier to renting, buying, or remaining stably housed. It looks like a working family living in a stable home they can be proud of in the community they call home.

At the systems level, success looks like a stronger, more responsive housing ecosystem. Employers see less affordability-related turnover. Hospitals can recruit and retain essential staff more effectively. Schools no longer lose teachers to housing costs. Community-based organizations can deliver support more efficiently. And local leaders can shape policy, improve accountability, and direct resources to real-time community needs, rather than relying on lagging market signals or backward-looking ACS or census data.
