About Us

Housing​ ​&​ ​Urban​ ​Management​ ​dba​ ​HUM​ ​was​ ​founded​ ​by​ ​Michael​ ​T.​ ​Kornegay.​ ​Mike​ ​is​ ​a​ ​17 year​ ​veteran​ ​and​ ​expert​ ​in​ ​the​ ​matters​ ​of​ ​leasing​ ​to​ ​subsidized​ ​housing​ ​recipients,​ ​consulting and​ ​assisting​ ​Landlords​ ​with​ ​establishing​ ​the​ ​necessary​ ​infrastructure​ ​to​ ​run​ ​their​ ​small businesses.

After​ ​several​ ​years​ ​of​ ​success,​ ​he​ ​invented​ ​P.U.S.S.H.,​ ​Pre-approved​ ​Underwritten​ ​Standard​ ​for Subsidized​ ​Housing​ ​Recipients,​ ​a​ ​tool​ ​that​ ​uses​ ​a​ ​simple​ ​algorithm​ ​to​ ​score​ ​Section​ ​8​ ​tenants based​ ​on​ ​their​ ​responses​ ​to​ ​uniquely​ ​crafted​ ​prescreening​ ​questions.​ ​P.U.S.S.H.​ ​Scores​ ​enable Realtors​ ​and​ ​Landlords​ ​to​ ​quickly​ ​make​ ​an​ ​informed​ ​decision​ ​with​ ​regards​ ​to​ ​renting​ ​to subsidized​ ​housing​ ​recipients​ ​AND​ ​helps​ ​them​ ​to​ ​steer​ ​clear​ ​of​ ​fair​ ​housing​ ​violations.

Realtors​ ​and​ ​Landlords​ ​alike​ ​have​ ​found​ ​his​ ​approach​ ​to​ ​be​ ​revolutionary.​ ​Not​ ​only​ ​does​ ​he guide​ ​clients​ ​through​ ​the​ ​process​ ​and​ ​demonstrate​ ​how​ ​to​ ​increase​ ​ROI,​ ​but​ ​they​ ​are​ ​also​ ​able to​ ​select​ ​from​ ​our​ ​stock​ ​of​ ​pre-screened​ ​tenant​ ​inventory.​ ​We’re​ ​able​ ​to​ ​go​ ​from​ ​tenant application​ ​to​ ​lease​ ​signing​ ​in​ ​14​ ​days​ ​as​ ​opposed​ ​to​ ​traditional​ ​45​ ​to​ ​60​ ​days​ ​and​ ​this​ ​saves Landlords​ ​thousands.
