    2. Household Information
    3. Contacts
    4. Functional Needs
    5. Pets
    6. Access & Utilities

IMPORTANT: Reassure citizens that the fields in the tiles are optional. They decide what data they wish to share. 
The My Info tiles are the only tile containing required fields (e.g., name, login, password). These fields are needed for the creation of a Community Connect account.
