We see some shelters set up a computer in their lobby so that all their applications can stay digital and streamlined.

If the applicant does not have an email address, you can set up a dedicated email address for these applicants and just tweak it for each application (because our system requires a unique email for each person). For example, you can set up applications@yourshelter.org as an email address. Then, you would just add +firstnamelastname between "applications" and "@" - for example, if Jane Smith was applying, you can enter her email as applications+janesmith@yourshelter.org.

If you do decide to have some paper applications available, then you can create each person record manually and then attach a scanned copy of the application to their documents section.
