Management Computer Services, Inc. (MCS) is now offering PHA-Web, a new Internet based software for housing authorities. The Letter Manager is a component of PHA-Web.

The Letter Manager assists the housing authority in the creation of letters and documents.  No additional software or word processors are required to create custom correspondence.  The Letter Manager allows the user to insert pictures and graphics and chose from multiple fonts and sizes.  Additionally it also provides the option of inserting housing authority letterhead into the document as well as users' electronic signatures.

The Letter Manager has a user-friendly interface for creating custom letters and documents in two modes of operation. The first mode provides the ability to write a custom letter to any person or organization within the PHA-Web database.

The second mode provides the standard mail merge functionality that allows the user to select a list of recipients for a custom letter. A sophisticated search tool is utilized that provides the ability to select recipients based on multiple selection criteria. Once the recipients and a letter are chosen, the Letter Manager will complete the merge. The merge produces one completed letter for each recipient.

Registration may be completed by contacting a PHA-Web representative in our Wisconsin office at (608) 784-0354 or in our Rhode Island office at (401) 683-6133.
