About the Integration between BALANCEaap and REACH

REACH, a BALANCEhub component, serves as a repository for Good Faith Efforts (GFE) data. If you use REACH to store GFE data, this information can be included in your organization’s Regular Plan or Master Plan. Because REACH collects GFE data at the location or establishment level, however, locations must be mapped to the plan structure.

Note: For instructions on activating the REACH integration for use in Narratives, see: Narrative Settings.

See *BALANCEhub REACH > Help providesfor information on using REACH to determine Location Codes and store GFE data.
