Request a DemoThe Communication Gap in Student Housing
Housing teams often rely on scattered channels — emails, flyers, or word of mouth — to reach students. Important updates get lost in inboxes, while urgent messages fail to reach the right people in time.
Centralized, Reliable Communication
Dorm Hearth provides a unified communication hub built into the housing platform. Staff can send announcements, reminders, and updates through email, SMS, or in-app notifications — all from one dashboard.
How Dorm Hearth Improves Housing Communication
Multi-Channel Messaging
Send announcements, reminders, and urgent alerts via email, SMS, and in-app notifications — ensuring residents receive messages in the format they're most likely to see.
Targeted Outreach & Segmentation
Reach specific audiences such as all residents in a building, only first-year students, or staff members. Avoid information overload with precise, relevant communication.
Scheduled & Automated Messaging
Schedule communications in advance (e.g., move-in reminders, payment deadlines) or automate recurring notices to save staff time.
Two-Way Messaging
Allow students to respond or confirm receipt where appropriate, creating an interactive channel instead of one-way broadcasts.
Message Tracking & Analytics
Track delivery, open rates, and response rates for each channel. Measure communication effectiveness and demonstrate improvements in student engagement.
Templates & Pre-Built Alerts
Use standardized templates for common communications such as safety alerts, housing policy reminders, or maintenance updates.
FERPA-Aligned & Secure
All communication data is secured within TX-RAMP-certified and GovCloud-hosted infrastructure, ensuring compliance with higher education privacy standards.
