The Central Referral System is Chicago's tool for coordinated access for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Permanent Housing with Short-Term Supports (PHwSS) housing resources. The training will provide an overview of the CRS, discuss agency roles and responsibilities, review the agency Memorandum of Understanding and Policy and Procedures. This training is required for all direct users of the CRS who need a Authorized User Log-In.
