The Homeless Verification Form (Simplified and Detailed Views) has been updated to include CLA Pauses and Manual Entry Pauses in the homeless episode calculation. Month-End Expansion Rules:

• Single Records: When a Homeless CLA is the only record in a month, it expands to cover the entire month.
• Leading Records: When a Homeless CLA is preceded by a Pause, it begins on its designated date. If no Pause follows, the Homeless CLA extends through the end of the month.
• Trailing Records: When a Homeless CLA is followed by a Pause, it ends the day before the Pause begins. If it is the final record following a Pause, it extends through the end of the month. Conflicts & Overlaps:
• When a Homeless CLA and Pause occur on the same day, the Homeless CLA takes precedence.
• When records overlap, the expansion logic is applied to the first (leading) and last (trailing) records in the sequence. Constraints & Exceptions:
• Automated expansion of Homeless CLAs is limited to the current month and does not carry over into the following month.
• Manual Entry records use their specified start and end dates. These records are incorporated into the pause logic and may span multiple months; therefore, they are not subject to the single-month expansion rule.
• The existing 7-day rule remains unchanged.
