Ability to add children to multiple households
Our community is running into an issue where children whose parents are separated but both receiving services have multiple client records made for them to avoid creating households that connect separated partners. (A child has a different record associated with each parent.)
We need a way to associate children with each parent's household without having their parents be in the same household that doesn't require duplicative records and ideally minimizes overlapping enrollments.

I agree, and I think we need policy and process to accompany the change.

This issue arises a lot and unfortunately the parent who enrolls first has the say so. This new way would allow family's experiencing homelessness to receive services regardless of the custody or separation struggles.
