What is the Assessor's Role When a Client Gets Referred?
 |
|
The Housing Provider takes the lead role in contacting the client.
The Assessor supports the housing provider.
|
It is ultimately the housing provider's responsibility to make contact with the client.
However, assessors often play a crucial role in helping the housing provider make contact with the client, and providing support until the client is housed.
When a client gets referred, the assessor and case manager are copied on the email the housing provider received.
Assessors, do the following:
- Introduce yourself to the housing provider.
- Help locate the client.
- Stay engaged until the client finds housing.
