CCAN Assessor Training

Hello! This page provides an outline on what is required to become a Cambridge Coordinated Access Network (C-CAN) Assessor. C-CAN assessors help our unhoused neighbors by being an initial point of contact for our CE system and helping persons complete the Cambridge Streamlined Assessment tool. The steps for approval and becoming a trained assessor are below. You should plan to set aside about three hours for training and will be required to complete a responsibility statement.

Request a CCAN Assessor Training

  • If you would like to be a CCAN assessor, your supervisor will need to complete this form on your behalf: CCAN Assessor Training Request Form. Once received, CCAN staff will reach out with next steps.

Attain Clarity HMIS User License if Needed

  • You must have an active account in Clarity HMIS to record the Cambridge Streamlined Assessment. If you are not already an active user of Clarity HMIS in Cambridge, you will need to complete an HMIS beginner training to get your user license. Please visit the HMIS Training Schedule and Registration page for more information.
