A suboptimal process
Off-campus housing remains one of the most stressful and disjointed parts of student life. Students rely on outdated websites and unverified, unreliable sources.

Why off-campus housing needs a better solution
Co-living safety
Issues with non-student roommates, property disputes, and landlord conflicts often escalate and become a university concern — with no visibility until it's too late.
A lack of trust and transparency
The university housing sector needs a secure, end-to-end digital platform tailored to how today's students search for housing, compare options, and secure leases.
Doing things better
Not just a listing site,
a complete student living platform.
Housr simplifies a messy, disjointed legacy process. We give colleges the visibility they need and students a simpler experience.
3-Tap Tour Booking
Students book tours in seconds. Applications are streamlined and lease signing is fully digital. No emailing or calling property managers - fewer barriers to conversion.
University Portal
Your bespoke dashboard provides data and insights on housing progress - who has secured, who is in progress, and who is yet to start looking. Real-time visibility of landlord issues drives accountability.
Student-Centric App
Housr becomes a student's go-to off-campus living app with Rental, Perks, Events, Roomie, and Rideshare at their fingertips - creating revenue streams that flow back to the university.
The Housr ecosystem
One platform for students, one insights portal for universities.
Housr is built for today's students. Our mission is to improve the college experience while providing new revenue streams to universities.
Verified Properties
Only verified Property Partners can list on Housr. Students see real-time reviews, verified photos, transparent lease terms, and can chat directly with landlords - all in-app.
Roomie
Our in-app roommate finder connects students with similar living preferences. We guarantee 100% of room and roommate searchers are verified students.
Chat
Housr facilitates gated in-app communication between students and residence hall personnel, unlocking visibility of conversations for universities.
Perks
Students save daily on food, fashion and everyday essentials through our local business partnerships. On-campus and off-campus retailers promote always-on and limited-time student-only deals.
Events & Ticketing
From large-scale university events to smaller club functions, students engage with their community via instant and gated ticketing - while the university gains visibility on expected attendance.
SSO Verification
Seamless Single Sign-On integration ensures every Housr user is a 100% verified enrolled student. Property partners know applicants are genuine. Your housing team has a trusted, verified user base.
Off-Campus Support
Housr's Rental Support service guides students through the entire housing search experience right through to move-in and beyond. We consider individual needs and budget parameters to connect students with their perfect rental.
Parent Service
Students can share the off-campus decision-making process by browsing listings, decision-making, and sharing key milestones from tenancy agreements to move-in dates together.

“When we get calls from students looking for off-campus housing - and we get them often - it's a relief to have a tool like Housr. It's easy to use, connects students to verified listings, and lets us feel confident they're starting their search in a safe, supported space. The ecosystem that Housr creates for us is so powerful, it's enabled us to have much greater connections with local brands and landlords while keeping the student at the heart of all we do.”
