OMNI Kudos to Portsmouth CSB for SOR III Intake GPRA Numbers

Happy New Year! In the upcoming year, we will continue to share some shout-outs about CSBs or Agencies that are doing well with intakes, follow-ups, engaging and supporting clients, and/or those that demonstrate a "spirit of inquiry" when engaging with our TA Team on GPRA administration issues.

For this month, we’d like to highlight Portsmouth CSB, for achieving a remarkable 100% of their GPRA intake target within the initial months of the current grant year. Kudos!

We know that everyone is working hard toward meeting their intake goal as set out by DBHDS this year. We would also like to remind everyone of a client-facing tool we have created to hopefully increase client engagement with the GPRA. This tool is the Engagement Sheet for Clients. It helps answer questions they may have, such as, "What is the GPRA?" and "Why do a follow-up GPRA?" 

If you have questions about this or need support with any aspect of GPRA administration, please reach out to our team at OMNI: SORsupport@omni.org.
