Housing Criteria and Housing Categories

Housing criteria appear on the Housing Preferences page in an Intake record, allowing users to record a client’s preferred housing options.  The criteria are grouped by housing categories.  Configure housing categories first, so the required categories are available for selection when you configure housing criteria.
