Automate Secure Systems with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Monthly Multiple Subsidy and Deceased Tenants check

  Build this

  Starts

  Every month on the 1st at 8:00, Eastern time

  Step 1

  For each property you name, get the Multiple Subsidy Report and the Deceased Tenants Report.

  Step 2

  Keep the tenants that were not on the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, one section per property, for follow-up.

• Existing Tenant Search for each new applicant

  Build this

  Starts

  When your system calls the workflow's webhook with an applicant household

  Step 1

  Run the Existing Tenant Search for each household member.

  Step 2

  Keep the members shown as assisted at another location.

  Step 3

  Post the result for the applicant to your property management system's webhook.

• EIV Income Reports for this month's recertifications

  Build this

  Starts

  When your system calls the workflow's webhook with the households due for recertification

  Step 1

  For each household, get the EIV Income Report.

  Step 2

  Post benefits, wages and unemployment by member to your compliance software's webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get a household's EIV Income Report” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "hudapps.hud.gov/get_eiv_income_report",
    "input": {
      "contract": "XX00R000001",
      "head_of_household": "J. Doe"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "property": "Northwind Gardens",
    "head_of_household": "J. Doe",
    "members": [
      {
        "name": "J. Doe",
        "ssa_benefit_monthly": 1412,
        "ssi_benefit_monthly": 0,
        "employer": "Acme Logistics",
        "wages_2026_q2": 4820,
        "unemployment_2026_q2": 0,
        "new_hire_date": null
      }
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Secure Systems’s own options

HUD publishes no API for Secure Systems or EIV in the guides it gives owners and agents. Tenant certifications and HAP vouchers travel as files from TRACS compliance software through iMAX. EIV reports, tenant searches and user roles are handled on the site itself, by people a Secure Systems Coordinator has given roles.

Read on November 12, 2026: HUD Secure Systems Password Management Instructions (HUD, October 2026), Owner Guide to HUD Secure Systems Access for Coordinators.

Signing in to Secure Systems

Secure Systems signs people in on an Okta sign-on screen with a username and password, then a second step: Okta Verify's "Yes, it's me" approval or a security key. With Fous you sign in once through that screen with your own user ID. Two-step sign-in is handled for phone approvals such as Okta Verify's, and with that approval, when a session expires Fous signs back in.

Worth knowing

One user ID per person

Each person may hold only one Secure Systems user ID. If you will be both a Coordinator and a user, register as a Coordinator: a user who later becomes one gets a new ID and loses the old ID's access.

The EIV coordinator role comes from HUD

A Coordinator assigns EIV user roles, but the EIV coordinator role (HSC) is assigned by HUD headquarters after you send the EIV Coordinator Access Authorization Form. You cannot assign it to yourself.

Consent forms before income data

You must have a current, signed HUD-9887 consent form on file before you open a tenant's employment and income information in EIV.

Reports run across households

Many EIV Verification Reports have no page breaks between households. The Multiple Subsidy Report must be used at least quarterly.
