If an individual qualifies as chronically homeless because he or she has been residing in an institutional care facility for fewer than 90 days and was living in a shelter or place not meant for human habitation immediately prior to entering the institutional care facility, evidence must include the following:
- Discharge paperwork or a written or oral referral from a social worker, case manager, or other appropriate official of the institutional care facility stating the beginning and end dates of the time residing in the institutional care facility. All oral statements must be recorded by the intake worker;
OR - Where the evidence listed above is not obtainable, a written record of the intake worker's due diligence in attempting to obtain that evidence and certification by the individual seeking assistance that states that he or she is exiting or has just exited an institutional care facility where he or she resided for fewer than 90 days;
AND - Third party verification or self-certification (as described in other parts of this presentation) that the individual was living in a shelter or place not meant for human habitation immediately prior to entering the institutional care facility.
