### Emergency Shelter Facility Maintenance Request Form

When you're running an emergency shelter, every facility issue can directly impact the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable populations. A broken heating system in winter, plumbing failures, or structural concerns aren't just maintenance tickets—they're urgent matters that can affect occupancy capacity and resident safety.

This **Emergency Shelter Facility Maintenance Request Form** is designed specifically for shelter operators, facility managers, social services coordinators, and nonprofit housing providers who need to quickly document and escalate maintenance issues while considering the unique needs of vulnerable residents.

#### Why emergency shelters need specialized maintenance forms

Unlike standard facilities, emergency shelters operate 24/7 with populations that may include families with children, individuals experiencing homelessness, domestic violence survivors, or people with disabilities. Maintenance issues need to be:

 - **Triaged by occupancy impact** – Does this affect one bed, one room, or the entire facility's capacity?
 - **Assessed for vulnerable population safety** – Are children, elderly residents, or medically fragile individuals at risk?
 - **Coordinated with social services** – Do residents need to be relocated? Should case managers be notified?
 - **Documented for compliance** – Many shelters must maintain facility condition records for grants, inspections, and licensing.

This form captures all the critical information your maintenance team and social services staff need to respond appropriately, from HVAC failures during extreme weather to plumbing issues affecting sanitation to structural concerns requiring immediate evacuation.

#### Built for the realities of shelter operations

Paperform makes it easy for staff across shifts to report issues from any device—whether it's a front desk tablet, a mobile phone during evening rounds, or a laptop in the administrative office. Conditional logic ensures staff only see relevant follow-up questions based on issue type and severity, keeping the form quick to complete even during crisis situations.

Use **Stepper** (stepper.io) workflows to automatically notify the right people based on urgency level—send critical issues to your facilities director and on-call maintenance immediately, route moderate issues to your maintenance queue, and copy social services coordinators when resident relocation may be needed. You can also create automated task assignments in your project management tools, log issues in your facility management system, and update your bed availability tracking if occupancy is impacted.

With **Papersign** (papersign.com), you can streamline contractor authorization for emergency repairs, capturing eSignatures on service agreements when you need to bring in external vendors quickly while maintaining proper documentation for your financial and compliance records.

This template is trusted by homeless shelters, domestic violence safe houses, transitional housing programs, disaster relief shelters, and emergency housing providers who need professional, rapid response maintenance coordination that prioritizes both facility integrity and resident wellbeing.
