Not in OPUS…?!
While we love OPUS(!), it does not have the option to fill in the required information relating to imminent loss of housing.
If the Client/Household is imminent risk of losing housing, please fill out the following information in your records:How imminent is risk of
homelessness?
Less than 7 days7 to 14 days 15 to 30 daysMore than a month
Last Residence Options
Where did the household stay the night before program enrollment?
Length of Stay Options
• One week or less• More than one week but less than one month• One to three months• More than three months but less than one year• One year or longer• Don’t Know• Refused
Tips: Zip Code
• If the household/individual was in permanent housing when they came into your program, then use the zip code of the permanent housing.• If the household/individual was homeless when they came into your program, then use the zip code from where they became homeless.• If the household/individual was chronically homeless (homeless for more than a year) when they came into your program, then use the zip code that best defines their current living region.• If your Client doesn’t know the zip code, you can find it on http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown.jsp by entering the name of the town and state into the search engine.
ZIP code of residence is where the household lived prior to becoming homeless. If the household is not homeless, then the ZIP code is of the current residence.
