More About This:

The Annual PATH Report only requires grantees to collect one instance of each type of PATH Service provided per client; however, PATH providers may choose to collect multiple instances of each service.  Regardless, each instance of each type of service provided will only appear once for each unique client receiving the service in the PATH Annual Report. 

Details:

💥 Please always remember that your client must first have an  enrollment into your PATH project before  you can record a PATH-Funded service!
