Configure Homelessness Risk Reduction

Homelessness Risk Reduction can be used to identify where regular reports of homelessness activity may originate and address regular reports of homelessness activity in a community.

In this topic, you'll learn how to configure the Homelessness Risk Reduction solution to meet specific needs of your organization.

Extend homelessness activity reporter survey

The Homelessness Risk Reduction solution includes a Homelessness Activity Reporter  survey that can be used to record homelessness activity. However, you can extend this survey with your own questions or extend the domain to record additional types of activity observed. Review the preconfigured questions and adjust as necessary to remain in compliance with your organizational policies. In addition, ensure that you secure the survey and underlying layers and only share the content with appropriate members of your organization.
