You can exit the Program Head of Household from an enrollment and keep the other Household members in the program enrollment.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if the new Head of Household is designated
• D. Not applicable to all programs

Answer: (A)

In HMIS, the Head of Household is a designation used for reporting and coordination, not a live toggle that automatically ends the entire household’s enrollment when removed. You can remove the Head of Household status from an enrollment while the other household members remain enrolled, so they can continue to receive services and be counted in the same enrollment.

If needed, you can designate a new Head of Household from among the remaining members to maintain leadership for reporting, but keeping the other members enrolled is allowed even without immediately changing who holds that role. This is why the statement is true: exiting the Head of Household while keeping the rest of the household enrolled is permitted under HMIS practices.
