When a client does a book-out, the Reason for Discharge field is mandatory. If the user selects one of the housed options, like "Housed - Independent" for example, HIFIS should automatically be adding a Housing History record.

Here's what I'd like to see:

• A user does a book-out and on the Book Out screen, selects a housed option in reason for discharge

• The user clicks save

• HIFIS detects that one of the "housed" options has been selected, and redirects the client to the Add Housing History screen

• The Add Housing History screen should automatically enter the start date = the date of the book-out

• The Add Housing History screen should automatically select the Housing Type (looked up from the Reason for Discharge)

• The user can then add the rest of the details and hit save.

This would go a long way to ensuring that housing status and housing transitions are being calculated correctly, and make the CHR/COR have better data, and result in less work for shelter staff.
