About Padmission

The operating system for
housing programs.

Padmission builds the software Continuums of Care, housing authorities, and nonprofits use to engage landlords, place clients, and run the programs that move families and individuals out of shelters and into stable homes.

Our why

Individuals, families, and communities are safer, healthier, and stronger when everyone has a home. Our software helps communities house more people faster — and keep them stably housed longer.

Our story

Built by the people who run the programs.

Padmission started in 2019, founded by people who administer housing assistance every day. The programs that move families out of shelters and into permanent homes are enormously complex behind the scenes — eligibility, landlord engagement, leasing, payments, inspections, and HUD compliance — and far too much of that work still ran on spreadsheets and paper.

Our founders believed communities working to end homelessness deserve the same quality of software as any enterprise. So we built it: a platform that encodes how housing programs actually work, instead of a generic tool that staff bend around. Compliance, audit trails, and privacy boundaries are structural — not configuration choices left to staff vigilance.

Today, CoC lead agencies, housing authorities, and rental assistance providers across 40+ communities run their programs on Padmission — so their teams spend less time fighting their software and more time helping the people in front of them.
