What Greater Dayton Premier Management does

Greater Dayton Premier Management (GDPM) is the designated public housing authority for Montgomery County, Ohio, operating as a quasi-governmental entity under Ohio state law and federal HUD oversight. The organization's mission is to provide affordable housing solutions for low-income individuals and families, senior citizens, and people with disabilities throughout the county. GDPM manages a portfolio of more than 2,700 housing units and serves over 16,000 residents annually through a combination of directly owned public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program administration, and Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties, including the Telford-Shroyer Development in Kettering and Oakwood.

GDPM's technology footprint centers on a SecureCafe-powered online platform that has replaced paper applications and in-person orientations with digital intake, resident, landlord, and maintenance portals. The organization supplements housing delivery with the Jobs Plus employment program and Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Resident Services, layering case management and workforce development on top of core housing assistance to create pathways toward financial independence. Distribution is concentrated in Montgomery County and is reached through the gdpm.org website, the SecureCafe application portal, and organic social media on Facebook and X/Twitter.

The business model is funded almost entirely by federal appropriations routed through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, including the Public Housing Operating Subsidy, Housing Choice Voucher administrative fees and Housing Assistance Payments pass-through, and Low Income Housing Tax Credit equity. GDPM is governed by a board of commissioners, has no parent company or external equity investors, and is not a candidate for traditional M&A. As a result, revenue mechanics are driven by congressional appropriations, HUD program rules, and the size of the county's qualifying population rather than by market-rate pricing or commercial sales motion.
