If you have begun your onboarding process, you are familiar with the types of information you can collect using screening forms.
Public House recommends using certain types of fields. Detailed questions, help text and warnings educate households about the basic requirements of each housing program. Revise these elements when you notice any confusion among Applicants or mistakes in the text.
Some types of questions can be added to a screening form. However, Public House supports the use of simplified forms that gather very basic information.
