Management Computer Services, Inc. (MCS) is now offering PHA-Web, an Internet based software for housing authorities. The Public Housing Accounting Manager is a component of PHA-Web.

The Public Housing Accounting Manager manages accounts receivable for families that participate in public housing programs.  The Public Housing Accounting Manager works with the following programs:

The main functionality of the Public Housing Accounting Manager is found in the Accounts Receivable Procedures.  The Accounts Receivable Procedures are separated into two parts and provide the ability to create the payment transactions and process the payments.

The first part of the Account Receivable Procedures is the Billing Transaction Procedures which provide the ability to create billing transactions and adjustments.  The ability to create regular recurring billing (monthly rent and other changes) is provided along with the ability to create manual adjustment transactions as necessary.  A unique feature provided by the Public Housing Accounting Manager is the ability to automatically generate move in, move out, and retroactive billing transactions.

The Payment Receipt Procedures provides the ability to post payments received to the families' accounts.  Payments can be entered manually, utilizing a cash receipts or counter system, or a lockbox through a local bank.  The payment received can be applied manually or automatically to the appropriate charges on the family's account.

Registration may be completed by contacting a PHA-Web representative in our Wisconsin office at (608) 784-0354 or in our Rhode Island office at (401) 683-6133.
