Need help applying?
We will work one-on-one with applicants who experience barriers to access in order to develop accommodations that suit their unique abilities and situations.

Starting March 9, 2023 the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will be enabled when you try to log into the Smart Simple platform. This extra layer of protection will be added to the standard login credentials. You will receive a single-use verification code that is a uniquely generated number sent to you via the email you registered your account with. Each time you log into the system, you will be prompted to enter the single-use code.

If you have any questions or need any help completing an application, please contact program staff as soon as possible. Staff can provide feedback on your application up to 10 days before application deadlines.
