MSHDA

Overall, this system is fantastic. It was pretty easy to follow, it is visually well designed and was fairly intuitive to follow. I am really looking forward to seeing how the implementation of this continues to improve workflow and communication. This is a HUGE step forward for MSHDA. Very different than our old days of huge three-ring binders.

The Problem

Affordable housing development is twenty years of work. Most software handles twenty months.

The affordable housing development lifecycle runs through NOI, NOFA, underwriting, board approval, closing, construction, lease-up, and compliance monitoring across affordability periods that stretch 20 to 30 years. Board approval is not the finish line. What follows is six months to a year of legal work: developers, their counsel, title companies, and the agency's own legal team assembling, negotiating, and executing the dozens of documents a closing requires, each one tracked and versioned on the way to a closing package. Multi-party reviews run in parallel throughout: developers submit, housing development officers manage the pipeline, certifiers approve in their own queues, committees gate decisions. Most software handles one stage well. The work falls through the seams between stages, and nowhere more than the gap between an approved deal and a closed one.

One record. The full lifecycle.

Conductor was built for how affordable housing development actually runs. The same platform that intakes a Notice of Intent runs the proforma, routes certifier reviews, gates committee approvals, tracks every document a deal needs from board approval to the closing binder, and monitors compliance across the affordability period. The same developer, the same project, the same record.
Product Tour

Seven surfaces of the housing development lifecycle on Conductor.

From the first Notice of Intent to compliance monitoring after closing, each surface below is configured by program staff, not coded.

01 · Configurable NOFA

Administrators define Notice of Funding Availability rounds with question sets that change based on the project type. Configured by program staff in the admin interface, not coded.

02 · Developer Notice of Intent

A fully digital intake process where developers submit initial data. Logic-driven forms ensure only relevant questions and document requirements surface. The same developer record carries through every subsequent stage.

03 · The Hybrid Proforma Engine

Spreadsheet sovereignty meets database intelligence. Teams continue using familiar Excel models for complex what-if scenarios while high-value data (unit counts, rental prices, cash flow projections) is automatically extracted into the central database. Every iteration versioned for audit.

04 · Multi-Party Role-Based Collaboration

External developers see only their cases. Housing development officers manage the pipeline. Certifiers (legal, marketing, environmental) are auto-assigned tasks based on workflow triggers. In-app communication replaces email chains.

05 · Committee Gates and Board Approval

Underwriting Committee kills unviable projects early, saving downstream resources. Loan Committee and Board approvals tracked with strict version control on post-approval revisions. Automated staff report generation aggregates certifier inputs into the board package.

06 · Long-Term Compliance Monitoring

After closing, the same record carries through 20 to 30 years of compliance monitoring. Asset management runs from the same platform that ran underwriting. OData feed surfaces live data for Capital Needs Assessments and federal reporting.

07 · Closing and Legal Workflow

Every document a deal needs to close, tracked to one record: status, version, and who's holding it up. Redlines move from email into the system, with every pass logged. E-signature and wet-sign documents both tracked to completion and compiled into the closing binder when the deal is done.

Video walkthroughs of each surface are in production and will be added here once cut.

The challenge.

MSHDA needed a modernized digital ecosystem to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of affordable housing loans. Fragmented manual processes, paper-heavy review cycles, and disconnected systems made collaboration between external developers, housing development officers, and internal certifiers (legal, marketing, environmental) slow and error-prone. Housing policies evolve continuously; the system had to evolve with them.

What changed with Conductor.

A configurable, role-based platform built on runtime configurability: MSHDA administrators define and modify workflows, questions, and required documents in real time without code changes. The platform unified NOFA rounds, Notice of Intent intake, the hybrid proforma engine (spreadsheet sovereignty plus database intelligence with full version control), certifier workflows, automated staff report generation, committee gate approvals, closing document generation, and asset management reporting. Every stage on the same record, one per project.

The outcomes.

Weeks of manual staff report compilation reduced to automated generation. Email-chain coordination replaced with in-app communication. Public rankings migrated from external PDFs into the centralized workflow with full transparency for developers. Post-approval revisions tracked with strict version control. Asset management runs Capital Needs Assessments from live data via OData feed.

Four Audiences

Easier for everyone in the chain.

Four audiences. Four different problems. One record.

Transparency replaces black box.

  • Submit a Notice of Intent through a guided digital form, not a PDF packet.
  • See which stage of internal review your project is in, in real time.
  • Track post-review rankings inside the application, not on a separate agency site.
  • Communicate with housing development officers and certifiers inside the project record, not over email.
  • Upload documents and proforma versions once; every reviewer sees the same data.

Pipeline visibility. Workflow control. Less spreadsheet wrangling.

  • Manage every project across every funding round from one dashboard.
  • Route components to certifiers (legal, marketing, environmental) automatically.
  • Track proforma changes with full version history.
  • Aggregate certifier inputs into staff reports automatically.
  • Run pipeline analytics from live data, not exported reports.

Configure the program. Watch the pipeline.

  • Stand up new NOFA rounds from templates, without engineering.
  • Adjust scoring criteria, document requirements, and workflow rules in production.
  • Watch board-ready dashboards on pipeline health, allocation efficiency, and project velocity.
  • Run compliance monitoring across 20 to 30 year affordability periods from the same platform.
  • Hand auditors and federal monitors live data, not data extraction projects.

From board approval to closing binder, in one record.

  • Track every document a deal needs to close, from Notice of Intent through the closing binder, in one place instead of five.
  • Move redlines out of email. Every version and every comment lives against the document, not a message thread.
  • Route board packets through manager and legal-director review before they reach the docket.
  • See cycle time and bottlenecks across the portfolio: whose desk something is sitting on, and for how long.
  • Give developers, their counsel, and their lenders a scoped window into their own deal. Nothing else.

Under the Hood

The platform capabilities that power housing development work.

Conductor for Housing Development runs on the Conductor platform. The capabilities below are the ones that matter most for affordable housing development work.

Configurable NOFA Architecture

Administrators define Notice of Funding Availability rounds with question sets that change based on project type. New rounds stand up from templates without engineering. Scoring criteria configured in admin UI, versioned for audit.

Hybrid Proforma Engine

Keep your Excel models; the numbers flow into the database. Teams keep complex modeling in familiar spreadsheets while high-value data feeds cross-deal analysis. Every iteration version-controlled.

Multi-Party Role-Based Collaboration

External developers, their counsel, and their lenders see only their own cases, admitted by invitation. Housing development officers manage the pipeline. Certifiers (legal, marketing, environmental) are auto-assigned tasks via workflow triggers. In-app communication replaces email chains.

Parallel Certifier Workflows

Marketing, legal, and environmental reviews run in parallel rather than blocking each other. The next decision surfaces the moment its dependencies are ready. Sequential bottlenecks eliminated.

Document-Centric Closing Workflow

Every document a deal needs to close gets its own status, its own version history, and its own review record. Redlines that used to run over email happen in the system instead. When the deal closes, the documents compile into the closing binder.

Board Docketing and Approval

Staff compile board packets from live case data, route them through manager and legal-director review, and track the docket through approval, conditions, or a send-back. Loan Committee and Board approvals carry strict version control on post-approval revisions.

Automated Staff Report Generation

Aggregates data and narratives from all certifiers to auto-generate the staff report required for board review. Weeks of manual compilation reduced to platform output.

Long-Term Compliance Monitoring

After closing, the same record carries through 20 to 30 years of compliance monitoring. Asset management workflows run from the same platform. Federal compliance reporting from live data.

Live Analytics, Cycle-Time Tracking, and OData Feed

Configurable dashboards show pipeline health, allocation efficiency, and where a deal is sitting, and with whom. OData feed surfaces live data for Excel, Power BI, and Tableau. Asset management runs Capital Needs Assessments from the same record that ran underwriting.

Conductor is available through established purchasing vehicles: TXShare Cooperative MSA (#2025-018), Texas DIR-CPO-5958 (DBITS Software Services), GSA Multiple Award Schedule (GS-35F-160CA), and TIPS Contract (#220105). When the fit is clear, the right vehicle gets the work started without a full solicitation cycle.

Compliance & Security

Built to the standard your program has to meet.

SOC 2 Type II · ISO 27001, 27017, 27018 · NIST SP 800-53 · HIPAA-ready · WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508. Built on a FedRAMP Moderate authorized platform. Applications can be deployed into FedRAMP Moderate or High environments where a contract requires it; commercial cloud as standard. Your agency retains exclusive ownership of all data, documents, configuration, and audit logs, with real-time access through an OData connector for Power BI or Tableau, and structured exports plus a Certificate of Data Destruction on exit.

Certifications and attestations

SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018. Reports are available on request to support agency vendor risk assessments.

FedRAMP where the program requires it

Built on a FedRAMP Moderate authorized platform. Applications can be deployed into FedRAMP Moderate or High environments where a contract requires it; commercial cloud as standard for programs without a federal authorization requirement.

NIST SP 800-53 and StateRAMP

Applications inherit platform-level control implementation and add engagement-specific controls. Delivery aligns with StateRAMP Moderate where required by state contract.

HIPAA

Business Associate Agreements are supported. Encryption, access controls, audit logging, and breach notification align with the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules where an application processes protected health information.

Accessibility, WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508

Accessibility is designed in from the first sprint, not audited at the end. Automated scanning runs every sprint, and screen reader testing with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver covers critical workflows before release. An Accessibility Conformance Report in VPAT format is produced as a delivery artifact.

Encryption and access

TLS 1.2 or 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. Every environment uses an isolated database instance. Permissions are enforced at the data model, so a restricted user cannot reach protected data even through an API.

Cloud agnostic. Deploy on the cloud you choose. Azure, Google Cloud, and agency-controlled environments are supported alongside AWS.
