Celebrating 28 Years of Service, Innovation, and Impact

Celebrating 28 Years of Service, Innovation, and Impact

This year, HDS Companies celebrates 28 years of serving the affordable housing and community development industry. It is a milestone that reflects not just time, but the relationships, trust, and shared purpose that have shaped our journey.
Since 1998, HDS Companies has grown into a trusted partner for agencies, organizations, and industry leaders across the country. Throughout that time, our focus has remained the same. We help our clients operate more efficiently, stay compliant, and better serve the communities that depend on them.

Over the years, we have continued to evolve alongside the industry. We have developed specialized software, delivered program administration and compliance services, and built solutions designed specifically for the unique demands of affordable housing. That commitment to practical innovation and true partnership continues to guide everything we do.
Today, HDS Companies brings together the strengths of eHousingPlus, HDS Software, and HDS Allita to create a connected ecosystem of services and technology. Across all areas of the business, our goal is simple. We provide reliable and thoughtful solutions that help our clients navigate complexity with confidence.

This anniversary also gave us a special opportunity to pause and celebrate the people behind the work. At our annual meeting and celebration, we were honored to recognize team members reaching milestones from five to 25 years of service. Moments like these speak to the culture we have built together, rooted in commitment, collaboration, and a shared belief in the work we do.

As we reflect on 28 years, we are incredibly grateful for the clients, partners, and team members who have been part of this journey. Your trust and support have helped shape who we are today and continue to inspire where we are going next.

We are proud of what we have built and even more excited about what lies ahead. As the industry continues to evolve, HDS Companies remains committed to growing with it, delivering solutions that make an impact, and supporting the communities our clients serve every day.

Here is to 28 years and to everything still to come.
