CST Data Entry - The Program Participation System (PPS)
Counties and Tribes with CST initiatives are required to report data for children enrolled in the areas of education, juvenile justice involvement, living environment, and CANS-Comprehensive scores. This data is entered on a regular basis into the web-based Program Participation System (PPS) data collection system.
If you are having technical problems with using PPS, have basic questions about the use of the data entry screens, or need to gain access to PPS, please contact the DHS SOS Help Desk:
