An HMIS paper intake form is:
  • A backup data collection tool when HMIS is unavailable.
  • A standardized way to capture HUD-required and program-specific data that helps ensure all required fields are collected consistently.
 
Use a paper intake form when:
  • Conducting a client’s initial enrollment into a project and when access to the system is unavailable.
  • Field-based services such as outreach or shelter activities make real-time HMIS entry impractical.
