More on Bloom Housing

How did we start and where are we operating?

In 2015, Exygy partnered with San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Civic Innovation, and Google (via the Civic Bridge program), to create DAHLIA – SF’s first digital affordable housing portal. 

Since then, we created Bloom Housing, an open source and more flexible platform based on DAHLIA, to expand access to this solution and make it more cost effective to other jurisdictions. Investment and support for the Bloom Housing project have been provided by the City and County of San Francisco, Alameda County, San Mateo County, the City of San Jose, the City of Detroit, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, MTC/BAHFA (Bay Area Housing Finance Authority) and Exygy.

In partnership with MTC/BAHFA and Google.org, we are currently building Doorway, a Regional Platform for the 9 Bay Area Counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma, Napa.
