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.

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.

Questions we hear often
Straight answers.
- Is Ppulus a property management system or a social program system?
- Both, by design. Ppulus began as a social program management platform for rental assistance and benefit programs. Ppulus Haven adds a full property management core (properties, units, tenancies, maintenance) and finance, so a housing management body can run its whole business in one system.
- How is Ppulus different from generic property management software?
- Most property management software is built for private landlords. Ppulus starts from affordable housing: rent-geared-to-income and subsidy calculations, priority waitlists, program eligibility, funder reporting, and the people behind every unit are first-class, not add-ons.
- Where is our data stored?
- Ppulus is hosted on Microsoft Azure in Canadian regions, with role-based access and full audit trails to support FOIP and PIPEDA obligations.
- How long does it take to get started?
- Ppulus is configured, not custom-built. Most organisations see results in weeks, not years, with flexible subscriptions and no large upfront purchase.
- What happens when we need help?
- A person always handles your request. We typically respond within one business day, and our help desk has averaged a 4.4-hour response time since 2024.

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.
