As discussed at the July User Meeting, to questions related to client location have been added to HMIS. Below are the questions, and a description of each.
“What city were you in immediately prior to entry into this project?”
- The answer should be the city in which the client was “residing” (sleeping) in on the night before they entered your project.
- Answer options will be a drop-down selection with a list of all cities in Orange County, in addition to “Client Doesn’t Know,” “Client Refused,” “Data Not Collected,” “Unincorporated Orange County”, and “Outside Orange County.”
“What was the city of your last known permanent address?”
- The answer should be the city in which the client last lived in a permanent housing situation for 90 days or longer.
- Answer the question by typing in the city the client last lived in permanently
