Background

Previously, the "Use Office Address" checkbox on the Address Detail page in CalSAWS was not to be used as the functionality did not align with the established practices in RAU for homeless mail.

New Practices

"Hold for Pickup" Print Guide

To print "Hold for Pickup" status correspondence, follow these guidelines:

Go to the Distributed Documents Search page, find the correspondence and click the "Details" button.

On the Document Detail page, click the "Reprint Locally" button.

The document will open as PDF ready to print. CalSAWS will automatically track the print history. Check the red square icon by the date column to view history.

Thank You!

For additional clarification, please reference Update 23-121E.
Client comes in to HSA to check their homeless mail, as they are responsible to check each week.

Homeless clients may have a separate mailing address. If so, enter their reported mailing address and do NOT utilize the "Use Office Address" checkbox.

Once primary applicant's mailing address is set to "Use Office Address"...

EWs are to continue to Print Centrally when generating & saving documents as this will place them in hold status.

By using the "Use Office Address" checkbox in CalSAWS...

it will cause all future generated correspondence to be placed in "Hold for Pickup" status instead of having the documents print centrally.

When documents are placed in this status, they can only be printed locally.

RAU staff will update mailing addresses of currently active cases already utilizing agency homeless mail.
The client reports to EW over the phone that they are now homeless.
Print History
EW goes over the SJ 78 verbally and updates addresses in CalSAWS. Next, EW sends printed copy of SJ 78 to the client's physical homeless mail file in RAU with intent for client to sign and return when they next pickup their mail.
EWs need to promptly give and clarify updated SJ 78, Homeless Households Mail Pick-Up, for all homeless clients at first case opportunity.

HSA Main Office Address

333 E. Washington St., Stockton, CA 95202

Do not check the "Use Office Address" checkbox for the Physical Address.

RAU has client sign SJ 993 Homeless Mail File Card as proof of client's visit to pick up their mail.

RAU also checks in the physical homeless mail file.

RAU looks in CalSAWS case and follows print instructions for unprinted correspondence in "Hold for Pickup" status.
