To explain the Community Connect tiles where citizens manage their data.
Background
Upon creation of a Community Connect account, a citizen (residential) manages their occupancy information via a set of "tiles". These tiles include the following and are explained in further detail below:
My Info
Household Information
Contacts
Functional Needs
Pets

IMPORTANT: Reassure citizens that the fields in the tiles are optional. They decide what data they wish to share.
