Some of our single shelters are
under the impression that if they receive a referral from Coordinated Entry for
a household with two adults (no children), they will need to create separate
intakes for each adult (with each adult listed as the Self Head of Household)
when they enter the clients in ShelterPoint. It has been confirmed that
relationship to HoH is not included
in the MDHHS billing report and shelters would not need to update head of
household status to properly bill the bed in use.
Should single shelters receive an Adult Only
household referral from Coordinated Entry, each member of the household should
be checked in separately, but members should share a project entry where only
one member is identified as Self Head of Household. Guidance on this issue is
included with today's minutes.
