A big gap related to families in HIFIS is the ability to keep track of clients that are part of the family but not currently living together, that would theoretically get reunited when the parents get housed. This could include: children in foster care, children temporarily living with grandparents, or a household that's split up due to shelter capacity issues.

This is commonly handled by communities via custom tables, and there isn't a satisfactory way to do it.

A simple partial fix may be, on the family membership screen, to indicate whether the client is living in or out of the family during the date range period, and have an easy way to swap, like a new button that temporarily removes the client from the family (like they're "on hold" until a later date).
