    Purpose:     Quick-start guide for emergency accommodation providers

    Getting Started:

    1. Create your Project (e.g., "Winter Night Shelter 2026" or "Emergency Beds Service")
    2. Import the Impact Scorecard Template from this Collection
    3. Set up your Contact Form for quick intake
    4. Configure bed night tracking (Activity Tracker)
    5. Set up meal tracking (Activity Tracker)
    6. Create staff user accounts with appropriate permissions
    7. Practice logging a resident check-in and check-out


    Key Features for Emergency Accommodation:

    • Quick resident registration during crisis intake
    • Daily bed night logging
    • Exit destination tracking
    • Simple follow-up surveys (knowing contact may be lost)
    • Anonymous reporting for residents who prefer not to share details


    Pro Tips:

    • Keep intake forms SHORT - people in crisis can't complete lengthy forms
    • Make safety and basic needs tracking simple (Yes/No works better than scales)
    • Don't expect high follow-up response rates - 30-40% is good for this sector
    • Use unique reference numbers for residents who don't want to share names
    • Track "lost contact" honestly - it's a reality of emergency accommodation
