## Neighborly Software Background
Neighborly Software was founded in 2016 by former ADP employees—Jason Rusnak and Chris Behm—and initially known as Benevate Inc. It presented a solution to revolutionize the benefits market. In 2017, Benevate pivoted to providing software solutions to Housing, Economic & Community Development (HUD-HCD) organizations and rebranded as Neighborly Software. Over time, the company moved into Emergency Rental Assistance and Homeowners Assistance (USDT-ERA/HAF), Housing Choice Vouchers (HUD-HCV), Disaster Recovery & Mitigation (CDBG-DR/MIT), and Home Energy Rebates (IRA-HER/HEAR) verticals. Headquartered in Atlanta, the company’s mission is to Help Communities, Help People by streamlining the enrollment, administration, and reporting of government funded programs. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Neighborly Software managed and disbursed approximately $12B in Emergency Rental Assistance and Homeowner Assistance funds for over 100 participating jurisdictions. The company has 700+ clients, or “neighbors” using its platform all over the United States.
