Note: If you will be checking in multiple household members, please look at the client's profile first and make sure all household members are in that client's household.

See the section on ShelterPoint Shelters for Multiple Household Members for more info.

This will prompt you to search HMIS for the client, just like in ClientPointClients. Remember to always search for the client carefully and only create a new client if you cannot find a client record for them.

The next screen will show the Date In and Unit you are checking the client into. If you are not entering data same-day, remember to change the Date In to reflect the actual check in day. This field will always default to the day you are entering the data into ShelterPointShelters.
