Financial Assistance Programs

The Financial Assistance module allows the provider to enter information on two groups of clients. First are shelter clients who with some financial assistance can leave shelter and obtain permanent housing.  Second are clients living at home who with some financial assistance can stay in their homes and not come into shelter. These screens were originally used by HPRP programs to meet HUD reporting requirements , but can be modified for use in any similar situation.
