Where to enter Client Legal Name in HMIS

If a client identifies with a different name than the one on legal documents (for example, a client is transgender and has not legally changed their name), staff should enter the client’s legal name in the First Name and Last Name fields until a legal name change has taken place. This will assist the client with getting access to resources requiring an ID. The name a client presents with should be entered in the Preferred Name/Alias field of the client profile
