Affordable housing first

Most property management software was built for landlords. Haven was built for housing providers.

There are hundreds of property management systems. Very few start from social programs, subsidies, and the households behind every unit. Ppulus does, and it shows in every screen.

One system, the whole journey

From the first application to a stable home, nothing falls between systems.

Haven follows the household, not the spreadsheet. Each stage hands cleanly to the next, so staff spend their day with people instead of re-keying data.

  1. 1

    Apply

    A household applies once, online or with a caseworker, and never re-enters the same information.

  2. 2

    Qualify

    Eligibility, income, and priority are determined consistently, with every decision explained.

  3. 3

    House

    Offers, leases, and move-ins flow from the waitlist straight into the unit record.

  4. 4

    Support

    Rent, subsidies, benefits, and maintenance are managed in one place for the whole tenancy.

  5. 5

    Sustain

    Reviews, renewals, finance, and reporting close the loop so the organisation can plan ahead.

The Haven platform

Everything a housing management body needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Nine connected modules on one data model. Turn on what you need today and grow into the rest.

  • Properties & Units

    Your full portfolio, from buildings and units to inspections and amenities, in one living record.

  • Applications & Waitlists

    Online intake, eligibility, and priority-based waitlists that match households to the right home.

  • Tenancies & Leases

    Every household, lease, and life event, from move-in to move-out, handled with care.

  • Rent & Subsidy Calculation

    Rent-geared-to-income, near-market, and benefit calculations that are consistent, explainable, and auditable.

  • Social Programs

    The proven Ppulus program engine for rental assistance, gender-based violence benefits, and more.

  • Maintenance & Work Orders

    Requests, work orders, vendors, and preventive maintenance that keep homes safe and staff organised.

  • Finance & ERP

    Receivables, payables, budgets, and general ledger built around how housing organisations are funded.

  • Portals

    Self-service for applicants, tenants, landlords, and partner agencies, with a person always a tap away.

  • Reporting & Plip AI

    Real-time dashboards, funder reporting, and Plip, the assistant that summarises, surfaces risks, and drafts reports.

Plip, the Ppulus AI assistant

Meet Plip

AI helps with the work. People take care of you.

Plip, our AI assistant, saves your staff hours inside the platform. When you need help from us, a person always handles your request. AI never takes the place of someone who listens.

  • Instant summaries

    Plip reads a file, a case, or a tenancy and gives staff the gist in plain language.

  • Surface hidden risks

    Missed reviews, arrears trends, and expiring documents are flagged before they become problems.

  • Reports, instantly

    Ask for a funder report or a board summary in a sentence and get a draft you can trust.

The Ppulus difference

Enterprise software rarely feels this human.

Canadian, through and through

Made in Canada, for Canadian housing.

Affordable housing in Canada has its own programs, funders, privacy laws, and realities. Ppulus was built inside them, alongside the people who deliver them every day.

Proudly Canadian owned and operated

  • Built in St. Albert, Alberta

    Founded in 2023 and headquartered in St. Albert, with a team that meets every user we serve, by video at a minimum and on site most of the time.

  • Designed around Canadian housing

    Rent-geared-to-income, provincial rental assistance, the Canada Housing Benefit, and funder reporting are first-class, not add-ons.

  • Your data stays in Canada

    Ppulus is hosted on Microsoft Azure in Canadian regions, with role-based access and full audit trails to support FOIP and PIPEDA obligations.
