Housing Providers

Reminder

 

Housing Providers: Remember to keep case manager contact information current in Coordinated Entry Event in HMIS.

Professionals in the Coordinated Entry System need to know who on your team is working with each client that gets referred to your agency. 

This helps assessors and others assist in making contact with the referral and provide other essential services.  

When you assign a case manager to work with a client or have staff turnover, update Coordinated Entry Event in HMIS
