Management Computer Services, Inc. (MCS) is now offering
PHA-Web, a new Internet based software for housing
authorities. The Portability Manager is a component
of PHA-Web.
The Portability Manager assists housing authorities in
managing portable tenants in the Section 8 program. The Portability
Manager works with both portability in and portability out tenants
providing a complete portability management solution.
For portability in, the Portability Manager provides the
ability to produce a complete HUD Form 52665 Family Portability Information.
This form in conjunction with the HUD Form 50058 Family Report produced by the
50058 Certfication Manager creates the necessary billing information
to provide to the initial housing authority. The Portability Manager
also creates the recurring monthly billing and adjustments for the initial housing
authority along with the ability to post payments when they are received.
The Portability Manager also provides
the ability to manage portability out tenants. The ability to create payments
for HAP, tenant utility reimbursements, and Family Self Sufficiency to the
initial housing authority is provided. Transactions to make adjustments to
regular monthly payments can also be entered. The payments to the initial
housing authority can be in the form of either a check or direct deposit.
Payment confirmations for all payments are also produced. Portability out
payments can be produced as many times as required throughout each financial period.
Registration may be completed by contacting a PHA-Web representative
