What CRN is, and is not
- A guide and organizer that runs on your iPhone.
- General information, not legal advice. No attorney-client relationship.
- It does not submit requests, appeals or documents to any agency. You decide what to send, and you send it.
Four California programs
Each program has its own guidance, because each has its own notices, people and steps.
IHSS
Assessment, reassessment, changes in care needs, notices, and hearings.
Regional Center
Service coordination, IPP preparation, service issues, and related administrative processes.
CDSS Fair Hearing
Understanding notices, preparing hearing requests, and organizing supporting information.
IEP
Special education planning, documentation, and related dispute preparation.
What you can do
Understand the next step
Describe what is happening and see plain-language guidance written for your kind of case.
Organize documents and evidence
Keep notices, scans, photos and supporting records together with the case they belong to.
Keep track of dates
Record important dates and set reminders on your iPhone. Always confirm deadlines against your official notice.
Prepare for what comes next
Build a checklist, draft materials and assemble an evidence packet you can review and share yourself.
Designed to keep your information with you
CRN is designed to be local-first. There is no CRN account and no cloud synchronization. Your case information is stored in the app on your iPhone, and reading your documents uses Apple technologies on the device.
Information leaves the app only when you choose to share, export or email it. You can delete a case, or everything, from inside the app.
