Case Study: Catalyst Housing Group achieves rapid, accurate tenant screening and fraud prevention with Snappt

Catalyst Housing Group - Customer Case Study

Catalyst Housing Group, a Larkspur, California nonprofit focused on creating perpetually affordable rental housing for essential workers, faced a major tenant-screening challenge at its Annadel Apartments in Santa Rosa. With FPI reporting that 26% of applications contained fraudulently altered financial documents and eviction processing averaging over $7,500, Catalyst needed a faster, more reliable way to detect fake paystubs and bank statements—so they turned to Snappt’s document fraud detection/tenant screening service.

Snappt implemented its data-driven detection algorithms to analyze original financial documents and flag digital tampering, allowing Catalyst and manager FPI to vet applications far more quickly and accurately. Where manual review took upwards of three days, Snappt delivers answers in less than a day—often within an hour—reducing applicant drop‑off, improving onsite team efficiency, and helping Catalyst prevent costly fraud and potential evictions.
