A strong case-manager referral gives Calm Waters enough accurate housing information to understand and route the request without asking the referring professional to make the housing decision.
Send the Minimum Necessary Housing Information
A strong referral is housing-focused. It should contain enough information to understand the housing need without automatically transmitting a complete case file.
Requested Move-In Date
Provide the person's target move-in date or realistic timeframe.
Resident Contact Information
Include reliable contact information for the person seeking housing. Keep the resident's information separate from the referrer's contact details.
Referrer Information
Include the case manager or professional's name, organization, phone number, and email address.
Current Housing Need
Briefly explain the current housing situation and what type of housing help is being requested.
Preferred Location and Room Type
Provide the preferred city or acceptable area and whether the person prefers a shared room, private room, or is open to either.
Budget or Expected Payment Source
State what is actually known. Do not describe anticipated assistance as confirmed funding.
Relevant Accessibility or Accommodation Information
Share housing-related needs that are relevant to the search. Do not make Calm Waters' accommodation or eligibility decision on the client's behalf.
Clarify Housing Intent
Indicate whether the person is interested in Calm Waters-operated housing, navigation to other housing options, or both.
About Calm Waters Housing
