1.2. Resources

While it is helpful to read the training materials we provide and any instructions you may receive from COHHIO, it is important to know where to find the source materials to fill in any gaps in understanding. It is everyone's responsibility to be familiar with the regulations relevant to your program. This page details the varied resources available to all HMIS participants.
