ONEAPP'S MISSION
The Meaningful Mission That Moves People
OneApp began its journey giving renters greater transparency in their search for housing. We quickly learned that just wasn’t enough.
Now we’re breaking down barriers. It’s full steam ahead toward our goal: house one million people by 2032. You should join us.
THE CHALLENGE WITH HOUSING
A Perfect Storm of External Pressures
Today’s housing challenges aren’t because renters are “not trying” or property managers are “being unfair.” There are external forces causing an imbalance in the equation for success.
Even if we all agree the system is broken, no single company, manager, or renter can fix them quickly. These are slow-moving, structural pressures that require policy shifts, times, and massive market change.
So OneApp is stepping in with solutions to help renters get approved without asking property teams to take on more risk.
Income to Rent Disparity
Slice it any way you want: rents have risen faster than wages in most markets for decades. The old “3x rent” standard now excludes people who would have qualified a few years ago.
Property managers aren’t judging character — they’re guarding against the predicable outcome of stretched budgets: late rent, skipped payments, and higher turnover risk.
Volatile + Unpredictable Economic Conditions
Inflation shocks, layoffs, and gig-work volatility make the news regularly. Add in the long-tail effects of COVID-era disruptions and it makes it tough to evaluate what “good” looks like.
Renters who looked stable “on paper” can flip to high risk in a flash. Managers see a few red flags and assume too much risk.
Outdated Approval Models Show Too Much Risk
An evicition or non-paying renter can mean months of lost rent, legal costs, and unit damage. Those losses compound fast. The downsides are steep and recovery timelines are slow.
Property teams are pushed to strict and outdated approval rules to favor predictability over unknown — even if a renter can afford the rent.
THE DREAM WE ARE ACHIEVING
How We Plan to Change How Housing Works
We’re solving for the short term and the longer term with a suite of services around housing. Because no one can solve housing’s challenges if they only focus on one side of the equation. We’re helping everyone, because we truly believe it when we say: hopeful futures begin with housing.
APPROVAL ASSISTANCE FOR RENTERS
Renters need a solution that solves their challenges today while supporting them for a successful future.
OneApp Approval Assist is built for renter who are rebuilding, relocating, or simply caught in a system judging them for a snapshot that doesn’t reflect their full story.
LEASE SUPPORT SERVICE FOR PROPERTY MANAGERS
Property managers need a solution that allows them to open more doors without opening exposure to more risk.
OneApp Partnership is for managers who want to say “yes” more often without adjusting rental criteria or harming their budgets.
Stop denying and start approving!
LEASE SUPPORT SERVICE FOR HOUSING-FOCUSED NONPROFITS
Nonprofit teams need a dependable, repeatable path to more housing options for renters needing more stability.
OneApp Greenlight is a solution exclusively built for housing-focused nonprofits that bridges the gap between renters who don’t meet approval standards and property managers who see too much risk.

FINDING THE SOLUTION WHERE EVERYONE WINS
Housing Access is a Collective Effort
We’re tenacious in our pursuite of a balanced equation where everyone wins. When your goal is housing one million people, you understand that every part of the equation needs support. There are no “bad guys” for us.
