The Bay Area Housing Finance Authority (BAHFA) has introduced the Doorway Housing Portal as a new platform for locating affordable housing in California’s Bay Area.
According to BAHFA, the Doorway Housing Portal will centralize housing listings across the region and enable housing seekers to use filters and a map-based interface to search for affordable housing. Individuals will also have access to content designed to guide them through the process of finding and applying for affordable housing.
Doorway Housing Portal was developed with pro bono support from Google.org Fellows, a team that includes Google researchers, designers, product managers and software engineers, and it was built on Bloom Housing, an open-source software project that is being developed by Exygy with governments across the country. The portal is accessible via desktop and mobile in English, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese and Tagalog.
“The launch of the Doorway housing portal is an important step toward relieving the Bay Area’s chronic housing affordability crisis,” shared BAHFA Chairman and Napa County Supervisor Alfredo Pedroza. “The combination of availability and accessibility unlocks more opportunity for more people. We appreciate both the technical know-how Google.org brought to this project and its long-term commitment to helping us meet some of the Bay Area’s other housing challenges. There’s a lot more work we can do together.”
