The Periodic Reporting Form is used to gather data on enrollees with respect to living circumstances or instances of homelessness, employment, education, support, risk taking behaviors, substance abuse, arrests, and hospitalizations. This form is used to help assess changes in status that may be attributed to benefits of enrollment in the WNYCCP.
