Frequently asked questions
Who is Neighborly Software built for?
It is built for local, state and non-profit organizations that administer government-funded programs: HUD community development departments, housing authorities running Housing Choice Vouchers, disaster recovery and mitigation grantees, and clean energy rebate administrators. The vendor says 700+ public and non-profit organizations use the platform, including about 45% of all HUD CPD entitlement Participating Jurisdictions.
How long does implementation take?
The vendor states that for disaster recovery and mitigation programs it implements in weeks, not months, so both experienced and first-time grantees can launch quickly. Vendor pages do not publish a standard implementation timeline or mandatory implementation fee, so timelines should be confirmed in scoping for HCD and HCV programs.
How is Neighborly Software priced?
Pricing is not published on the vendor site; the site routes buyers to a sales contact for a quote. Budget planning should assume a quote-based, implementation-supported engagement rather than self-serve seat pricing, and buyers should ask for seat tiers, add-on costs and any implementation fee in writing.
Is it secure and compliant?
The vendor states it is SOC 2 Type II certified, uses two-factor authentication, SSL 2048-bit SHA-2 encryption and Cloudflare protection, and hosts on Microsoft Azure FedRAMP certified data centers with geo-replication across multiple U.S. locations. Each tenant database is separate with automated point-in-time restore to any point in the last 35 days and a stated four-hour data recovery guarantee.
What reporting and government integrations are available?
The platform reports to government systems including HUD's IDIS, DRGR and IMS/PIC, and the Department of Energy's PNNL, which the vendor says removes duplicate data entry. Secondary offerings include a Snowflake-powered data warehouse (Neighborlytics), payments management, and reporting and analytics across grants, loans, construction and assets.
