What if a client exits before other household members?
During a household’s time being served by a project, some members may leave a household before the rest of the household. This article will show HMIS users how to exit a household member while other members remain enrolled in the project.
Note: There must be a single Head of Household (HoH) throughout the continuous Entry/Exit record. If the HoH changes during the household's Entry, please review the Households How-To Guide or contact the Helpdesk for instructions.
