Resident Bulletin Boards for Affordable Housing Communities


Service Coordinators and Property Managers share important information with residents every day: recertification reminders, maintenance updates, food pantry schedules, transportation information, events, office hours, documents, and community resources. A digital resident bulletin board for affordable housing communities gives that information a place where residents can easily find it again when they need it.

But sending information is only part of the job.

Residents often need to find that information again days or weeks later. Witlingo Bulletin Boards give each community a simple digital place where current information can remain available for as long as it is useful.

One community. One Bulletin Board. One place for what residents need to know.


Send information today. Make it easy to find tomorrow.

Text messages, phone calls, and emails are effective ways to get a resident's attention. But they are not always effective places to store information that someone may need later.

A resident may remember receiving a message about a food distribution, inspection, transportation schedule, or recertification deadline, but not remember the details or know where to look for them.

Witlingo Bulletin Boards complement your existing resident communications by giving important information a persistent home.

Staff can continue pushing time sensitive information through the channels they already use. The Bulletin Board gives residents a place to return to when they need the information again.


What can you put on a Bulletin Board?

A Bulletin Board can become the community's current source of information for things such as:

  • Community announcements
  • Recertification information
  • Maintenance notices
  • Food pantry schedules
  • Transportation schedules
  • Activities and events
  • Office hours
  • Important documents
  • Community resources
  • Emergency updates

Staff decide what belongs on the board, how long it remains there, and the order in which residents see it.


Simple for staff to manage

Witlingo Bulletin Boards are designed around the way Service Coordinators and Property Managers actually work.

Staff can create and edit notices, make notices visible or hidden, remove information that is no longer relevant, and change the order in which notices appear.

Each community has exactly one Bulletin Board, while an individual notice can be associated with more than one community. That means a notice that applies to several properties can be created once rather than recreated property by property.


Post once. Share where needed.

A corporate announcement, program update, resource, or deadline may apply to several communities.

Create the notice once and associate it with the appropriate communities.

That means less duplicated work for staff and greater consistency across the portfolio.


Keep the board current

Not everything should remain visible forever.

Staff can make a notice visible when residents need it and hide it when it is no longer relevant. Notices can also be reordered so the most important information appears first.

The administrative experience also lets staff search notices, filter by visibility status, see which communities are associated with a notice, and see when information was last updated.


Easy for residents

Residents do not need another complicated system to manage.

They simply see their community's current Bulletin Board and the information staff has chosen to make available.

Instead of searching through old text messages, trying to remember a phone call, or contacting staff to have information repeated, residents have a place they can return to whenever they need it.

Bulletin Boards can be made available through Witlingo resident experiences including WitConnect, NFC, QR codes, and links shared by staff.


From push communication to information residents can pull when they need it

Witlingo helps communities push information to residents through communication channels such as text, phone, email, and mobile experiences.

Bulletin Boards add the other half of the equation.

They give residents a way to pull information when they need it.

That creates a more complete communication model:

  • Reach residents when information matters.
  • Keep the information available when they need it again.

Value for Service Coordinators

For Service Coordinators, Bulletin Boards reduce repetitive communication and make commonly requested information easier for residents to find.

Instead of repeatedly answering the same questions or resending the same information, staff can keep current resources, schedules, notices, and instructions available in one place.

The result is less duplication and more time for direct resident support.


Value for Property Managers

For Property Managers, Bulletin Boards provide a simple way to keep current property information visible and organized.

Maintenance notices, office hours, inspections, events, schedules, and operational updates can remain available until they are no longer relevant.

Residents have a clearer place to look, while staff maintain control over exactly what appears.


Value for Property Management Executives

For management organizations, Bulletin Boards create a more consistent communication experience across properties.

Common notices can be shared across multiple communities without recreating them, while each property still maintains its own community specific Bulletin Board.

That helps organizations reduce duplicated work, improve consistency, and make resident communication less dependent on individual staff members remembering to resend information.


Designed for the information that should not disappear

Some communications are meant to get attention immediately.

Others need to remain available.

Witlingo Bulletin Boards are designed for the second category.

A recertification instruction, transportation schedule, office hour, community resource, inspection notice, or food distribution announcement may remain useful long after the first notification goes out.

Now that information has somewhere to live.


Reach residents. And make information easy to find.

Witlingo Bulletin Boards extend resident communication beyond sending messages.

They give every community a simple, manageable place for current information and give residents an easy way to find what they need when they need it.

  • Less repetition for staff.
  • Clearer communication for residents.
  • Greater consistency across communities.
