Scoring Wizard and Multifamily Consolidated RFP Application Refresher Training
The Scoring Wizard is a tool within the Multifamily Customer Portal that replaced the Excel version of the Self-Scoring Worksheet and applicants are required to submit their Scoring Wizard scoresheet as part of their application. This training covers how to complete a project’s scoresheet in the Scoring Wizard in the Multifamily Customer Portal for the 2022 Multifamily Consolidated RFP and 2023 HTC Round 1. While much of this training focuses on the Scoring Wizard, it also covers what’s new in the Portal, how to create your project, manage your application checklist and important reminders to avoid common mistakes. Watch the video and view the presentation slides.
To learn about features of the Portal and how to submit other items, visit the Portal Resources webpage.
