Housing Providers

Acknowledge Referrals in 2 Business Days

 

When you get a referral, remember to acknowledge it in HMIS within 2 business days.

This is how you let the system know you got the referral and will reach out to the client.

See step-by-step instructions here.

Assessors

Medical Fragility Feedback Needed

 

Prioritization based on Medical Fragility rolled out in the Singles system on August 1st, 2023.

Now we want your feedback on the medical fragility questions. 

Specifically, we want to know any assessments where you believe the answers the client gave to the medical fragility questions did not reflect their actual level of fragility.

Let us know here if you believe there is a discrepancy between how the medical fragility questions were answered by the client and their actual circumstances, thus negatively impacting their prioritization for a housing referral.

After we collect your responses we will bring them to the Lived Experience Advisory Group for further discussion.
