It's Happening THIS Weekend!!
We've been telling you it's coming and it's happening this weekend! The 5.11 upgrade will be happening to the live site overnight on Saturday, Sep 27. You will notice a slight visual change in the subassessments, but we will not be switching to the WI UDE Assessment until Monday for SSVF programs. Other programs will switch to the new assessments in the following order:
9/30: Programs entering LIVE client profile information will be switched over after 5pm. Please contact us if you are entering data LIVE, if you want to make sure you are on the list. wisp@icalliances.org
10/2-3: Remaining providers will be updated in this order: CoC, ESG (ETH), SSSG, Other non-HUD funded housing, Other non-Federal service programs, PATH, RHY.
The overview webinars scheduled for 9/25 are full, but no worries, we will be recording them. Please email wisp@icalliances.org to request the recording. (It can't be posted to our website per Bowman's privacy policy).
Additionally, there are TWO 201: Refresher Courses scheduled in October that will largely focus on the changes to the sub assessments.
