Audit-ready housing compliance, powered by AI.
Patterson & Associates helps Public Housing Authorities find every HUD-50058, verify every certification file, recompute every rent — and walk into SEMAP season already knowing the score.
One platform for the compliance work that used to take a file room.
Every service below runs on our AI compliance platform — and every engagement comes with the people who built it.
AI Document Classification
Our AI sweeps your DocuWare cabinets, finds every HUD-50058 and supporting document, and files it against the right household — with a human-review queue for anything below full confidence. Nothing auto-classifies unless the AI is certain.
HUD-50058 · DocuWareCertification File Audits
Every certification is checked against HUD's document requirements — by certification type, household composition, member age, and demographic predicates. Missing documents surface before HUD finds them.
Doc completeness · exception waiversIncome & Rent Verification
We independently recompute adjusted income, TTP, gross rent, and HAP for every file and compare against the stated 50058 to the dollar. Overcharges and errors are flagged with a full calculation trace.
±$1 tolerance · 30% / 10% / minimum-rent waterfallSEMAP Readiness
A live dashboard scores all 14 SEMAP indicators through the fiscal year — with random QC samples sized exactly to 24 CFR § 985.2, so certification day on the HUD-52648 holds no surprises.
24 CFR § 985.3 · HUD-52648Yardi & DocuWare Integration
Validated data extracts pull certifications, inspections, waiting-list draws, and voucher activity straight from Yardi Voyager — no re-keying, no spreadsheets, no stale data.
Voyager ySQL · scheduled importsPolicy & Rent Schedules
Payment standards (including SAFMR areas), utility allowance schedules, and MTW rent policies live in versioned, approvable policy records — extracted by AI from your HUD-52667 forms and Administrative Plan.

Regulation-native, to the paragraph
Sampling follows 24 CFR § 985.2's quality-control table. Indicator scoring follows § 985.3. Rent math follows the statutory waterfall. When HUD asks how a number was produced, the citation is on the screen.
AI with a human in the loop
Automation handles volume; your staff keep judgment. Borderline classifications queue for review, manual overrides carry audit notes, and every AI decision is traceable.
Works with the systems you already run
Yardi Voyager and DocuWare stay the systems of record. We connect to them, validate against them, and never ask you to migrate.
Year-round readiness, not year-end panic
Monthly trend snapshots and at-risk alerts mean findings get fixed in October, not discovered in the sixty days before your certification is due.
The business automation firm housing authorities trust.
Patterson & Associates Consulting has spent decades automating document-heavy business processes — and Public Housing Authorities run some of the most document-heavy processes in America. Every voucher, every reexamination, every inspection produces paper that HUD can ask about years later.
We built our AI compliance platform because we watched talented housing staff spend their weeks hunting files and re-keying data instead of serving families. Today the platform reads the documents, checks the math, and keeps the score — so your team works the exceptions, not the haystack.
From first call to audit-ready in four steps.
Discovery consultation
A working session on your programs, systems, and pain points — HCV size, Yardi and DocuWare footprint, SEMAP history, and where the fires are.
Connect & baseline
We connect to your Yardi and DocuWare environments, run the AI document sweep, and deliver a baseline: what you have, what's missing, and where the risk sits.
Verify & remediate
Certification files are audited, rents recomputed, and findings worked through review queues with your staff — every fix documented with an audit trail.
Stay audit-ready
The SEMAP dashboard, QC sampling, and monthly imports keep score all year. Your HUD-52648 certification becomes a formality, not a fire drill.
What audit-ready looks like in practice.
Representative engagement outcomes. [Placeholders — replace with verified client results before launch.]
A large-county HCV program connected Yardi Voyager and DocuWare, ran the AI document sweep, and moved SEMAP indicators 3 and 10 from empty tiles to fully scored — from validated Yardi data. [P]
Data validation caught duplicate and skeleton records in a Yardi extract before they distorted a single indicator — the platform's import checks rejected them with row-level explanations. [P]
A Texas authority filed its complete set of per-unit-type HUD-52667 worksheets as § 985.3(d) evidence in one upload session — schedules extracted, review dates captured, indicator scored. [P]

Know your SEMAP score before HUD does.
A 30-minute consultation is enough to tell you what the platform would find in your files — and what it would cost to fix it now instead of after a finding.
