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 Starts: Every month on the 1st at 8:00, Eastern time 1. For each property you name, get the Multiple Subsidy Report and the Deceased Tenants Report. 2. Keep the tenants that were not on the last run. 3. Email you the list, one section per property, for follow-up. ### Existing Tenant Search for each new applicant Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with an applicant household 1. Run the Existing Tenant Search for each household member. 2. Keep the members shown as assisted at another location. 3. Post the result for the applicant to your property management system's webhook. ### EIV Income Reports for this month's recertifications Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with the households due for recertification 1. For each household, get the EIV Income Report. 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](/product/methods), 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. Example request: ``` 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" } }' ``` Example response: ``` { "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. | Option | What it covers | What it takes | | --- | --- | --- | | iMAX file transmission | Sending tenant certifications (HUD-50059, 50059-A) and monthly HAP vouchers (HUD-52670) from TRACS compliance software. | A Secure Systems user ID with the iMAX role, assigned by your Coordinator, and TRACS compliance software. | | TRACS | HUD's repository of the tenant certifications and vouchers transmitted for each contract, viewed on the site. | TRACS roles assigned in User Maintenance and the property assigned in Property Assignment Maintenance. | | Secure Systems by hand | EIV Income and Verification Reports, Existing Tenant Search, user roles, business partner relationships. | A user ID, password and a second step through Okta Verify or a security key. | Read on November 12, 2026: [HUD Secure Systems Password Management Instructions (HUD, October 2026)](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/USHUDFHA/2026/10/27/file_attachments/3832313/EICAM%20Request%20-%20Systems%20Multifamily_Instructions.pdf), [Owner Guide to HUD Secure Systems Access for Coordinators](https://stg-dhcd.maryland.gov/HousingDevelopment/Documents/section811/811-HUD-Systems-Owner-Guide.pdf). ## 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. ## More in Government: US federal - [BSA E-Filing System](https://fous.com/automate/bsa-e-filing-system.md) - [FINRA Gateway](https://fous.com/automate/finra-gateway.md) - [PostalOne](https://fous.com/automate/postalone.md) - [USPS Business Customer Gateway](https://fous.com/automate/usps-business-customer-gateway.md) - [Invoice Processing Platform](https://fous.com/automate/invoice-processing-platform.md) - [FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse](https://fous.com/automate/fmcsa-drug-and-alcohol-clearinghouse.md) - [Wide Area Workflow](https://fous.com/automate/wide-area-workflow.md) - [E-Verify](https://fous.com/automate/e-verify.md) - [EPA Central Data Exchange](https://fous.com/automate/epa-central-data-exchange.md) - [SAM.gov](https://fous.com/automate/sam-gov.md) - [CM/ECF](https://fous.com/automate/cm-ecf.md) - [EFTPS](https://fous.com/automate/eftps.md) - [FBI NICS E-Check](https://fous.com/automate/fbi-nics-e-check.md) - [FLAG](https://fous.com/automate/flag.md) - [USCIS online account](https://fous.com/automate/uscis-online-account.md) - [IRIS Taxpayer Portal](https://fous.com/automate/iris-taxpayer-portal.md) - [Motus](https://fous.com/automate/motus.md) - [TRACS / iMAX](https://fous.com/automate/tracs-imax.md) - [USPTO Patent Center](https://fous.com/automate/uspto-patent-center.md) - [EDGAR Filer Management](https://fous.com/automate/edgar-filer-management.md) - [COD](https://fous.com/automate/cod.md) - [IRS e-Services](https://fous.com/automate/irs-e-services.md) - [IRS Tax Pro Account](https://fous.com/automate/irs-tax-pro-account.md) - [EIV](https://fous.com/automate/eiv.md) - [USPTO Trademark Center](https://fous.com/automate/uspto-trademark-center.md) - [SSA Business Services Online](https://fous.com/automate/ssa-business-services-online.md) - [NetDMR](https://fous.com/automate/netdmr.md) Other industries: [BidNet Direct](/automate/bidnet-direct), [MyDORWAY](/automate/mydorway), [UCMS](/automate/ucms), [mySchneider](/automate/myschneider), [SAP Fieldglass](/automate/sap-fieldglass), [McKesson SupplyManager](/automate/mckesson-supplymanager). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does HUD Secure Systems have an API? No public API is described in HUD's guides for owners and agents. Certifications and vouchers move as files from TRACS software through iMAX, and EIV reports, searches and user roles are used on the site. ### Which EIV reports can a method read? Any report your own user ID can open. That includes the EIV Income Report, the Income Discrepancy and New Hires reports, and the Verification Reports: Existing Tenant Search, Multiple Subsidy, Identity Verification and Deceased Tenants. ### How often do owners have to run the EIV reports? The Income Report is used at each annual and interim recertification, the Existing Tenant Search when you process an application, and the Multiple Subsidy Report at least quarterly. ### What happens if I forget my Secure Systems password? You reset it yourself from the Forgotten Password for External Users button, if you have enrolled Okta Verify or a security key. Without an enrolled second step, the reset sends you to support. ### Is Fous affiliated with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development? No. Fous is an independent product. It builds methods that use your own Secure Systems user ID through HUD's own sign-in, and each method reads only what your roles allow. Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of HUD Secure Systems (US Department of Housing and Urban Development).
