ScreeningWorks®
Pro now includes social service verification data from The Work Number database
to help reduce applicant burden and help providers improve speed to decision
SANTA
BARBARA, Calif., May 26, 2020 – It’s now faster and easier for affordable housing
providers and public housing agencies (PHAs) to get detailed financial
information on potential applicants. Yardi® now offers employment and income information from
The Work Number???? database for social services as part of ScreeningWorks Pro, a comprehensive
resident screening solution that also includes credit reports, rental history
and other publicly reportable civil or criminal records.
The addition of social service verifications from The Work Number helps affordable housing and PHA clients gain greater insight into applicants’ employment and income histories. Social service verification from The Work Number database can provide certain pay period details and historical income information.
“This data is especially valuable for housing providers with
affordable housing and PHA compliance mandates. The Work Number integration
helps verify an applicant’s employment and income information, a necessity when it comes to
qualifying for housing assistance or for below market rate rental units,” said
Boone Atkins, vice president of affordable housing sales for Yardi.
Equifax manages The Work Number database, the industry-leading, centralized commercial repository of employment and income information in the U.S. Used extensively for other social safety net programs, social service verifications through The Work Number database helped accelerate benefit decisions for millions of individuals in 2019.
Effective immediately, property managers using ScreeningWorks
Pro can leverage The Work Number data to help reduce reliance on
applicant-provided pay stubs and W-2s and gain instant and up-to-date
verifications of employment and income data submitted on subsidized rental
applications.
“We are delighted to expand our partnership with Yardi by
adding verification of employment and income for social services to
ScreeningWorks Pro,” said Tom Ciulla, vice president of enterprise alliances at
Equifax. “With instant access to up-to-date employment and income, The Work
Number data can help PHAs and other affordable housing providers further speed
up the application process and potentially offer more rental housing options
for eligible low-income families.”
