# Add one donor to a household

> Requires an active donor outside any household; already-present or other-household membership returns 422. Stores the requested relationship. Literal boolean make_primary=true selects this donor as primary; optional primary_relationship updates the existing household primary (or fallback primary) relationship. Material stewardship impact returns 409 with an expiring confirmation token and required contact/archive repairs; resubmit the same reviewed change with plan_impact_version and plan_repairs.
