Refer a family. Stay in the loop.
You carry your clients through hard transitions. Refer them to Birdie's House for placement, and we'll handle the housing piece — with you kept in the loop from intake through move-in.
What we take off your plate.
Application intake.
We take the family's info directly. You don't have to fill out a rental application on their behalf.
Voucher navigation.
We coordinate DCHA paperwork, HQS inspections, HAP contracts, and portability if needed.
Move-in coordination.
Utilities, lease signing, walk-through — we run the logistics so you don't have to improvise them on a Friday at 4pm.
What we tell you, and when.
You'll receive an automatic status update at every major milestone:
- Referral received — within 1 business day, with confirmation of intake.
- Applicant matched to a unit — with unit details and expected showing date.
- Showing completed — with outcome (interested / not a fit / needs different unit).
- Application signed and HAP submitted — with expected HQS inspection date.
- Inspection passed, HAP contract executed — with expected move-in date.
- Move-in complete — with a final summary and any flags for ongoing case management.
Prefer fewer updates? You can opt out of any of these. Caseworkers with 20+ active clients sometimes prefer milestone-only (referral + move-in) updates; that's fine.
