One case file. The landlord and the housing agency read the same screen. Illustrative case.
The gap
Congress appropriated $38.4 billion for Housing Choice Vouchers in fiscal 2026. The lease-up still runs on phone calls.
Housing assistance moves through separate lists, spreadsheets, inboxes, and email handoffs. No one owns the next step.
Keyway fixes the landlord side.

Start with a ready household.
The voucher letter, the payment standard, the income documents, and the household file are checked once. They travel with the case, so no landlord asks for them twice.

Who we serve
Four things have to line up.
A lease-up needs a verified household, a willing landlord, a passed inspection, and a signed HAP contract. Keyway holds all four, and each side reads its own view of the file.

Landlords
A simpler way to say yes.
Every household Keyway sends you arrives verified: voucher letter and income documents checked before you see the file. You see the HAP amount and the first payment date before you sign.Fill a unit with Keyway03

The human result
"I've been the kid who needed housing and the landlord deciding whether to say yes. Keyway was built for everything that happens in between."
Gabriel Leavell grew up housing insecure and later became a landlord to help families like his own. Keyway is the system he wished existed on both sides of the lease.
The network
Running today in Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
130 landlords accept housing vouchers through Keyway. The next matching family routes to them first.
Keyway sits on top of the programs an agency already runs: HCV, HUD-VASH, CityFHEPS, and local vouchers. No migration, no new case numbers.
