    The problem

    A pull cord is a string on a wall. It doesn't answer.

    When a resident needs help, an alarm is only the first step. Someone must receive it and respond. Under HUD's NSPIRE standard, a non-functioning installed call-for-aid system is a life-threatening deficiency requiring correction within 24 hours. Our replacement service connects residents to 24/7 live monitoring and documents the response.

    The financial case

    How This Gets Paid For

    HUD Section 202 properties can submit a budget amendment to HUD to cover the monthly SaaS subscription cost. HUD reviews and authorizes a corresponding rent adjustment — meaning the cost is built into operating expenses and offset by authorized rent, resulting in $0 out-of-pocket for the property. This converts a capital expense into a predictable monthly operating cost. Other Affordable Housing developments can leverage operating expense funds as well, for a low monthly cost or .

    Starting at $15/unit/month (60-month term).
    Installation
    $25/unit (billed separately).
