Q: Who is responsible for ensuring current Resource Family Approval (RFA) caregivers in Binti counties are informed about CWS-CARES account access? What is the communication approach for informing RFA applicants that there will be a transition from Binti to CWS-CARES?

A: Approved Resource Family Homes (RFHs)/applicants with an email address associated with their Binti account will receive communications from the Project and/or county regarding the transition from Binti to CWS-CARES and any actions needed to maintain progress toward approval. As part of this transition, RFHs/applicants will receive an invitation to the RFA portal and will follow the steps to create a CWS-CARES portal account. It is expected that information previously submitted in Binti will be available to them within the CWS-CARES portal.
