Reaching Home Community Plan/ Community Progress Reports (CPR)
Under Reaching Home, communities are required to complete and publish annual public reports known as the Community Progress Reports. The new CPR will incorporate annual performance outputs, and track progress toward achieving community-wide outcomes.
Community Progress Reports will include 3 sections:
-
Communities report on progress in implementing coordinated access through a self assessment checklist;
-
