DHCMI.org – A New Online Home for the Detroit Housing Commission

Media Genesis recently built a new home for the Detroit Housing Commission. Unlike the great work the DHC does every day, this home is online.

The Detroit Housing Commission is a government-created organization in Detroit working to assist Detroiters in finding affordable, quality housing. The DHC selected Media Genesis to update an aging web presence as part of a larger organization-wide push.

The new DHC site features a new clean and modern design. Other features include:

• A section that displays the properties available from the DHC.
• The site checks the eligibility of potential public housing applicants.
• The property pages update the waitlist status for individual properties.
• An online bid module provides extra functionality online.
• The entire site is manageable on a custom-built CMS.

Media Genesis also worked with the DHC to create a site-wide security plan that protects users’ information when they use this site.

The result is a website with which the DHC can better serve citizens in the area and grow as an organization while the city continues its recovery.
