Eligibility Compass integration streamlines verifications and reduces processing time
Yardi® has integrated Nova Credit’s Eligibility Compass into its Yardi Verification Services solution for affordable housing and public housing agencies.
Yardi Verification Services is an automated platform that retrieves verified income and asset data for households seeking to qualify for affordable housing.
By incorporating Nova Credit, Yardi enhances its ability to verify income and assets accurately without relying on paper forms. This improvement is possible through Nova Credit’s extensive payroll and banking data network.
“Our affordable housing clients work hard to house families quickly while managing strict program requirements and compliance challenges. Integrating Eligibility Compass into our platform gives providers a powerful new way to verify even the most challenging affordable housing certifications,” said Chris Voss, vice president at Yardi.
Previously, many affordable housing providers spent weeks or even months verifying household income and assets. Manual processes delayed move-ins, increased vacancy days and burdened staff with paperwork. With Nova Credit’s Eligibility Compass integration, Yardi Verification Services automates the process and users typically complete it within minutes.
Early results from operators using the system show up to a 3.5x improvement in end-to-end verification completion rates, helping teams process applications faster and move families into housing sooner.
“Affordable housing providers face a unique challenge: moving quickly while ensuring every certification meets strict program requirements,” said Akaash Gupta, head of affordable housing at Nova Credit. “Through our integration with Yardi, we’re helping providers automate income and asset verification using bank-transaction backed data, reducing manual review while giving teams greater confidence in the certification process.”
The partnership will be formally announced at the Yardi Forum, a two-day affordable housing and PHA training event which begins March 18, 2026, in Boston.
