Yardi partners with Nova Credit to accelerate verifications. PR Newswire Eligibility Compass integration streamlines verifications and reduces processing time SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Yardi(R) 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. Yardi clients can call (800) 866-1144 or email [email protected] to schedule a demonstration.

Nova Credit redefines income and asset verification in affordable housing with launch of Eligibility Compass. Nova Credit, a leading credit infrastructure and analytics company, today announced the launch of Eligibility Compass, a comprehensive income and asset verification solution for affordable housing. This purpose-built solution automates the process of collecting applicant financial data, reducing the time it takes to confirm eligibility. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251118403797/en/ Prior to today, verifying eligibility for a single household could take weeks of back and forth with the applicant and their banks, employers, and benefit providers. Eligibility Compass transforms this process by providing real-time verification of income, benefits, assets, and more - all in a single applicant experience. "Over the last five years, we've processed millions of income verifications for thousands of property management companies," explained Akaash Gupta, Head of Tenant Screening Partnerships. "We've learned that our users in affordable housing face unique challenges, such as complex applicant profiles, strict compliance requirements, and severe penalties for errors. We built Eligibility Compass to support these partners and their unique needs." Comprehensive Verification Across the Entire Market Eligibility Compass decreases the time from application to approval by consolidating disparate verification processes into a single, intuitive consumer experience. The solution's components reflect the unique requirements of affordable housing: * Bank connections allow for instant, paperless verification of current and historical assets, while identifying potentially relevant sources of income Discover more NYSE market data AI investment books FTSE index tracking Financial market insights International market overview Healthcare finance analysis Consumer staples reports Treasury bond information International market reports Stock index tracking * Payroll connections verify retirement income, government benefits, gig work, and more, in addition to traditional wage earnings * Flexible document upload accommodates any additional verification needs - e.g., award or distribution letters - ensuring no applicant is left behind * Automated cross-referencing between all data sources identifies discrepancies which could impact eligibility, like unreported income or assets As a Consumer Reporting Agency with nine years of compliance expertise, Nova Credit brings proven policies and procedures to the affordable housing sector, ensuring that increased efficiency doesn't compromise regulatory compliance. Omissions, whether intentional or not, are difficult to spot when reviewing stacks of documents. Compliance managers, leasing staff, and case workers are forced to play detective, hunting for unreported income and assets that could impact eligibility. This detective work comes on top of their actual mission: getting qualified families into homes. Eligibility Compass incorporates advanced fraud detection capabilities that analyze source documentation and catch imported income omissions. By combining multiple data sources with sophisticated analytics, the solution provides housing providers with confidence in the accuracy of applicant information while maintaining a seamless applicant experience. "Housing providers shouldn't have to choose between thorough verification and operational efficiency," added Gupta. "With Eligibility Compass, we've engineered a solution that delivers both, proving once again that consumer-permissioned data can improve housing access while strengthening risk management."
