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 new user training to get your user license. Please visit the HMIS Training Schedule and Registration page for more information.

Complete CCAN Assessor Training Course

  • Complete the course in our TalentLMS training platform. This consists of a 22 minute video and quiz. You can also download reference materials and return to the course to revisit any of the content as needed. You can also view the training slides here. Be sure to click through all the lessons until the course shows as completed.

Meet with CCAN Staff for In-Person Training

  • Once you have completed the above steps, CCAN staff will reach out to you to schedule a time to meet with them for a live Q&A session.

  • CCAN staff will provide you with the CCAN Assessor Responsibility Agreement Form, which must be signed before beginning to assess clients.
