Households link clients that are receiving services from a provider together.
- Households must be established before a new enrollment is created
- Clients can have many different iterations of their household at any time, and at the same time, they may be working with different providers. Therefore, it is important that users do not delete households or remove household members from existing households.
- Deleting households or removing household members from existing households breaks the link of clients within an enrollment they may have. Although the members may not be present for your agency, this may cause data errors for a different provider.
- Users may create a new household or add new members to an existing household if no existing household has the appropriate members.
