I'd suggest working though the stake president to talk to the area authority to alert them to the situation. Either that or writing to CHQ to alert them to the impact of the current system on the ward.llcampbell wrote:Our ward has a high percent of rental housing with transient members who move frequently. We are buried in members moving in who often are not living at the address given, just because it is the last known address on public records. In our ward 70% of members are less active and do not attend church. The remaining 30% have a hard time keeping up with all the service needed that includes keeping in touch with the 70% and finding out when and to where they moved.
I'd also keep a log of all members moved out after the 9 step research. If you find any coming back to the same address, I'd take appropriate action.
