Housing Assessment Tools  Initial Housing Intake An Initial Housing Intake is a tool (form) utilized during a face-to-face interview with a person to initiate a dialogue about a person’s previous living arrangement (s) prior to entering a nursing home/institution; to discuss and identify possible barriers to accessing affordable housing programs such as credit, criminal, or poor rental history; and to help a person understand possible challenges to moving into a home of one’s own from paying rent on time, to thinking about what neighborhood qualities and characteristics are important to a person, to transportation options, and to obtaining all necessary documentation needed when applying for affordable rental housing programs.  Housing Questionnaire  Housing Plan

Initial Housing Intake (IHI)

IHI-Household Information Where would you like to live? Do you have a specific neighborhood that you want to live in or want to avoid? A specific county or area of the state? Who would you like to live with? Does this person(s) visit you in the nursing home? Will this person (s) be able to obtain a positive landlord reference? Do you need a live-in aide? Are you a person in a wheelchair? What kinds of accessible features are you looking for?

IHI: Housing History Where did you live in the community before you entered an institution/nursing home? How did your tenancy end? What living arrangement worked well for you? Have you ever lived in public housing or had a HCV before? How did that experience work for you? Do you owe any money to a PHA? Have you ever signed your own lease? Do you have a landlord who can offer you a reference? Have you ever experienced any evictions?

IHI: Credit and Criminal Histories What kinds of monthly bills did you pay when you were living in the community? Do you have some bills or accounts that are behind? Were you able to keep up with your monthly rent payments before entering an institution? Have you ever applied for a credit card or a loan? Do you currently have a bank/savings account?
