PAHousingSearch.com is relaunched with new look and enhancementsHARRISBURG, Penn., Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On behalf of its partners, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency announces today's relaunch of PAHousingSearch.com after some extensive retooling of the site's appearance and capabilities. First launched in 2011, the site has grown to include apartment vacancies from 3,148 landlords and listings of 115,943 available rental units. Monthly visits to the site by apartment hunters now exceed 34,000. Today's launch of the improved site takes advantage of insights gained from thousands of users over the previous eight years. "Years ago, apartment hunting used to be a labor-intensive chore, but PAHousingSearch harnesses the power of the Web to make the process faster and easier," said Brian A. Hudson Sr., PHFA executive director and CEO. "The revamped PAHousingSearch site demonstrates our commitment to keep this Web resource fresh and responsive to the needs of rental housing consumers." Some of the customer-focused enhancements on the new site include these features:
PAHousingSearch continues to be backed by a call center of operators who can help users with their apartment search in Pennsylvania. Those operators are available toll-free Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. at 1-877-428-8844. Beyond its daily use by apartment hunters, PAHousingSearch has proven its worth during natural disasters when displaced families are in desperate need of temporary housing. This was evident during its heavy use by Pennsylvania emergency response teams following Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011. In addition to PHFA, PAHousingSearch is supported by the following partners: the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, the Professional Affordable Housing Management Association, and PennDel AHMA. The site is managed by Emphasys software. About PHFA Media contact:
