Indigenous Housing

Make the job easier — enter it once, click the house on the map, pull the report when the funding window opens.

Housing teams know this workflow

Records scattered across spreadsheets, filing cabinets, and a finance system that updates on its own schedule. Housing is first contact for tenants — but the data lives somewhere else.

LOUIS puts inventory, inspections, maintenance tickets, and reporting in one straightforward place. Housing sees rent and maintenance when it happens — not weeks later waiting on another office.

What housing departments use LOUIS for

🗺️

Click the house on the map

See inspections, work history, and unit details from one screen — so when leadership asks, you can find the house and the related work without digging through files.
📋

Enter it once

Stop re-keying the same information into multiple systems. Find what you need when a funder or auditor asks — including dated work history for warranty and follow-up.
🔧

Maintenance tickets

Track who has the work and where it sits — transparency and accountability for your crew and leadership.
📊

Reports at hand

When CMHC, Council, or a grant program needs evidence, pull it from live data — not a hundred separate files.
🔒

Data sovereignty & OCAP®

Your community's data under your governance — role-based access aligned to OCAP® (Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession) principles.
💰

Financial data integration

Connect rent and maintenance costs to your community's accounting where available — so housing saves time instead of waiting on another office or re-typing invoices. Built as a timesaver for operations, not extra work for finance.
🏗️

Housing and assets together

Bring public works and assets into the same system early — or water and electrical gaps land back on housing's desk.
📐

Right level of detail

Define homes, components, and maintenance at the depth your team can actually run — not every bolt a consultant can name.

Data sovereignty is not optional

For Indigenous communities, data sovereignty is often the gate before any software conversation moves forward. LOUIS is designed so your community retains ownership of housing and asset information, with control over who accesses what.

We work within OCAP® — Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession — so custody, export rules, and subprocessor questions are answered early, not at renewal time.

How adoption actually works

Start with a core team

Prove it with housing first — then expand to assets, finance, and other departments as the team is ready.

Train on your real homes

Hands-on setup with your rent, your units, and your workflows — so training gets real work done and leaves you with examples you can keep using.

Paper when the crew needs it

Print work orders for field staff who don't carry devices — complete the job, bring the record back into the system. Mobile when your team is ready.

You'll find what's missing

Many Nations discover homes and addresses that were never in the register. Building the inventory is part of the value.
