Reliable Resident Printing for Affordable Housing Communities

For many residents of affordable housing, printing is a genuine access issue. Benefit applications, recertification packets, school forms, and job applications still live on paper, and the alternatives — a bus trip to the library or a print shop charging per page — are real costs in time and money.

An on-site managed print station removes that barrier, and because ResidentPrints handles supplies, maintenance, and support, it does so without adding work for property staff who are already stretched.

Printing as a resident-services outcome

Housing providers increasingly report resident-services outcomes to boards, investors, and agencies. An on-site print station is a measurable service: usage reporting shows how many residents printed and how often, which slots directly into resident-services narratives for compliance and grant reporting.

Quota controls keep the amenity sustainable. Each household receives a monthly allowance, so the program stays within a predictable budget while covering the documents that matter.

Built for annual recertification season

Recertification periods concentrate months of paperwork into a few weeks. Residents can scan signed documents to email at the same station, which means the amenity handles both directions of the paperwork burden — printing forms out and getting completed forms back to the office digitally.

No burden on site staff

Site managers in affordable communities juggle compliance, maintenance, and resident relations. ResidentPrints installs the station, ships supplies before they run out, fixes issues, and supports residents directly, so the amenity never becomes another task on the site manager's list.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the amenity cost the property?

One flat monthly fee that includes the hardware, paper, toner, maintenance, and resident support. There are no per-page charges to the property or surprise supply costs.

Can residents scan documents back to a caseworker?

Yes. The station scans to email, so residents can send signed recertification forms or benefit documents digitally without visiting an office.

Can we report on how the amenity is used?

Yes. The dashboard shows aggregate print, scan, and copy activity, which properties use in resident-services and grant reporting.

How are per-household limits managed?

Each household gets a PIN with a monthly quota you choose, keeping usage fair and the program within budget.
