DormHearth

What DormHearth is

DormHearth is a web-based student housing management platform for universities, colleges, housing providers, and government organizations. Students can submit housing applications, while administrators manage room assignments, roommate matching, and room changes. Residents send maintenance requests digitally, and staff route and track tickets with notifications and performance reporting. Staff can share announcements and reminders by email, SMS, and in-app notifications, and organize campus events while tracking RSVPs and attendance. A dashboard shows occupancy, work orders, billing, and resident engagement, with reports available for export. The platform includes a resident portal and supports bed assignments and maintenance workflows. Its Starter Plan costs $1.99 per month per license for up to 100 users; the Intermediate Plan costs $1.49 per month per license for 101–500 users. Enterprise pricing is custom. DormHearth states that data is hosted in AWS GovCloud in the United States, encrypted in transit and at rest, and protected with role-based permissions and timestamped activity logs. Institutional identity-provider sign-in supports MFA.
