SAS for housing authorities.

How many bricks does it take to build a house? Who knows. How many calls does it take to provide great service? Only 1!

Your organization provides people with one of life’s basic necessities: shelter. Your tenants depend on you, and when they call, they deserve only the highest quality treatment. Many times, they are inquiring about new housing. Sometimes, tenants need to report any number of problems with current housing. Whatever the reason for their call, a fast response is essential. So, how can your organization provide callers with topnotch service when they are in need? If you are asking the question, Specialty’s answering service for housing authorities has the answer.

A busy housing authority may receive thousands of calls daily. For about $7 a day, SAS can help. Let us take care of your phones so you can shut the door on poor service.

SASDelivering Outstanding Customer Support

At SAS, our highly trained specialists deliver the quick, courteous, and understanding service that callers deserve. We provide 24/7 assistance, facilitating effective communication with current and prospective tenants. We are much more than just an answering service, though.

What We Can Do.

Our team of more than 300 representatives can handle thousands of calls daily. We staff for 55% efficiency, so our receptionists are sitting idle 45% of the time.

We can offer your organization a variety of services, some of which include:

• Emergency Hotlines: Our professional live-voice operators can screen inbound calls following your criteria and protocols for emergency and non-emergency response. Based on the information we have gathered, we will contact the appropriate members of your team by phone, text, pager, or email. Our representatives are always on hand to field calls so that every tenant feels as though their concerns are important to your office.
• Appointment Scheduling: We can interface with your pre-existing online calendar management system to schedule, cancel, and confirm appointments with prospective tenants, vendors, inspectors, and so on. Any changes or updates will be immediately accessible to your office so that you can plan your agenda accordingly.

With bilingual specialists fluent in English and Spanish, we can serve the Hispanic community with ease, making communication seamless between you and the populations you serve.
