OneApp

If you’ve recently been denied for a rental application, it’s not the end of the road — though we understand it can feel that way.

Once you’ve received a denial letter, ask the property manager about OneApp Approval Assist. This is a second-chance approval assistance service for renters. It gives you a clear path to approval, so you can move into the home you already chose.

After the community refers your information to us, you can apply for free for OneApp Approval Assist. Because we review more than just a credit score, you can get a second chance at approval for your new home!

No one wins when renters fail.

That’s why we work with property managers to turn denials into approvals.

In addition to providing housing, this process increases occupancy without increasing the risk for property managers.

Low-income renters in the US face a severe lack of stable housing options.

And it’s not just about affordability.

A recent Congressional report reveals how access to housing breaks down in practice, especially for the lowest-income households.

Our latest blog unpacks the key takeaways, along with how OneApp Greenlight can help nonprofits address the gap by moving placements forward faster.

Expanding Housing Options for Participants Housing access remains a major barrier for low-income renters in 2026. Learn what the latest housing report reveals and how nonprofits can expand options.

At OneApp we believe housing should be more accessible — not more complicated.

That’s why we’re at .

Every day, renters who can afford their next home are turned away because of outdated approval systems. At the same time, communities feel the pressure of vacancy and lost revenue.

Those two realities shouldn’t have to coexist.

We’re here to be part of a bigger shift — one where saying “yes” to more renters is possible, and confidence for property teams comes with it.

Because barrier-free housing isn’t just an idea — it’s something we can build together.

Too many renters get denied for credit, income, or rental history — even when they can afford the rent.

Property managers face real financial risk approving applicants who don't fit a traditional profile. Without a reliable way to offset that risk, qualified renters get turned away, landlords miss good tenants, and the cycle of housing instability continues.

That's exactly what OneApp Approval Assist was built to change.

By giving renters a second chance — and giving property managers the confidence to say yes — we're closing the gap between a qualified applicant and an open door.

Too many people who are ready for housing never make it through the front door.

For nonprofit housing providers, the barrier is the system.

Property managers face real financial risk approving leases for people who need housing stabilization support. Without a reliable way to offset that risk, denials pile up, workarounds drain staff time, and participants are left waiting.

That cycle is exactly what OneApp Greenlight was built to break.

38 nonprofit housing providers came together in Wisconsin to explore how to collectively increase the number of people getting into rental housing. OneApp Greenlight showed up as a practical piece of that infrastructure: donated lease support at zero cost to nonprofits, lowering approval risk for property managers so more participants can secure stable housing faster.

When organizations stop navigating the system in silos, more doors open.

Hopeful futures begin with housing — and we're proud to be part of the work happening in Dane County, WI, and expanding nationwide.

"The OneApp journey began giving renters greater transparency in their search for housing. We quickly learned that just wasn’t enough.

Now, our goal is to house one million people by 2032.

We work with renters, property managers, and nonprofits to create a seamless path to housing for people who are rebuilding, relocating, or simply caught in a system that judges them based on a snapshot that doesn’t reflect their full story.

Apartment hunting starts with viewing listings but can quickly escalate into Google searches like:

“How strict are apartment income requirements?”
“What credit score do apartments require?”
“Can I get approved with an eviction?”

If you’ve searched something like this, you’re not alone. For many renters, approval can be the most confusing part of the process.

OneApp Approval Assist helps make the path to approval clearer.
