This article contains the 1) official workflow and 2) flowchart of data collection and data entry for Rapid Re-housing (RRH) programs for DE-CMIS.
Please note that this is a general workflow and flowchart; some programs may have slight alterations to the content provided here.
RAPID RE-HOUSING WORKFLOW
REFERRAL
- Receive referral from Centralized Intake (CI) through CMIS and email.
- Contact client.
- Explain provider’s Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) process.
- Request client information.
- Schedule clients’ intake.
INTAKE
- Meet with client and complete all necessary intake paperwork.
CMIS DATA ENTRY
BACK DATE MODE
- Set Back Date Mode to date and time of intake meeting with client.
CLIENTS MODULE/CLIENT SUMMARY
- Clients referred by CI will already have a profile in CMIS.
- Accept RRH Referral from “Outstanding Incoming Referrals” on the Client Summary tab.
CLIENT PROFILE
- Review clients’ Universal Data Elements (UDEs) and update, if needed.
HOUSEHOLDS
- Check that all household members being enrolled into RRH program are linked under a household. If not, add additional household members now.
- Add two Releases of Information (ROIs) for all household members under: 1) the Parent Provider, and 2) the specific RRH project the client is being served by.
- If client ends up utilizing multiple RRH sources, additional ROIs would need to be entered for each specific project the client is enrolled under.
ENTRY/EXIT – PROJECT ENTRY
- Click “Add Entry/Exit”.
- Select all household members that are being enrolled in the RRH program.
- Add an Entry/Exit under the specific RRH project (“Provider”) that the client is being served by.
- Review/Update the Entry Assessment, as needed.
- All assessment questions (living situation, income, non-cash benefits, insurance, disability) should reflect the clients’ situation as of their date of intake.
DURATION OF PROGRAM STAY
- Case Management tab – add clients’ case manager.
- Case Plans tab – upload files relating to client’s case management.
- Interims – record changes in a client’s information throughout their program stay.
- Housing Move-In Date (HMID) – Through an interim, add HMID for all household members once they move into permanent housing.
- Annual Assessment – Needs to be added annually through an interim for clients enrolled in program for 365 days or more.
- Clients can be enrolled under multiple RRH Providers if they are receiving funding from them.
- If one RRH program is CoC-funded, the Entry and Exit Dates will have to encompass the entire time range that the client was served.
- If the later RRH enrollment is not CoC-funded, a second HMID will have to be entered to match the date of the new enrollment's Start Date.
PROJECT EXIT
- Clients are to be exited from the RRH project when they stop receiving RRH assistance.
- Select all household members exiting the project.
- Select the "Reason for Leaving" and "Destination" that best reflects client’s situation.
- Update the Exit Assessment with any information not collected at Entry or through an Interim.
