• Do not pressure anyone to participate in the survey <br />• In case of an emergency, call or have another person call 911. <br />Survey Instruments <br />• ALL unaccompanied and accompanied households found at each site are to be surveyed. This includes <br />unaccompanied youth under 18. <br />• There are two survey instruments: <br />Single — white paper (Use this form for singles and couples without children) <br />Part of a Household — colored paper (a household must include children) <br />• Be consistent in the way that questions are asked. Do not reword or condense the questions when reading <br />them to respondents. Unless obvious (such as gender), ask every question. <br />• If respondents are hesitant in providing personal information, assure them that the information is confidential <br />and that it is only used to make sure that we do an accurate count and do not count people more than once. <br />If they still refuse, make sure to write down as detailed of a visual description of persons as possible so that <br />duplication can be reduced in the HMIS. <br />• For the living with others (accompanied) survey, if the other adult household members are not available, ask <br />the respondent to provide as detailed information on the absent individuals as possible. <br />• In order to be counted an individual must be seen by the surveyor. <br />• If an individual who is known to be homeless is unable or unwilling to be surveyed due to severe mental illness <br />or substance abuse intoxication, the Survey Form should be filled out as completely as possible including a <br />description of the person and the box checked indicating the person's refusal to participate. <br />Please fill out the survey form as completely and carefully as possible. <br />(Remember someone has to be able to read the form to input the data) <br />22 <br />
