Rochester, NY — The Rochester Housing Authority (RHA) was just honored with MRI Software’s “Community Award” at the company’s most recent “MRI Ascend North America 2022” conference in New Orleans. One of this year’s “visionary” award recipients, RHA was recognized as an MRI client “committed to transforming the broader real estate community through best use of technology and services.”
Accepting the award in-person was RHA’s Director of Information Technology, Evhen Tupis. The award recognized RHA for its efforts “to drive best practices and processes that can benefit the communities they serve,” noting that:
- The Rochester Housing Authority consistently shares user feedback, ideas and suggestions with MRI to drive innovations that benefit the community and other Public Housing Agency clients.
- RHA improved communication with residents, applicants, and landlords with Callmax, and streamlined rent collection with MRI’s RentPayment solution.
