I was looking through the "completed and released" ideas under the Idea's tab and it states that we should be able to change the status of all members of a household. I know you can do it through mass action but that is tedious as compared to doing the changes in the household screen. I attached the idea below. Curtis Harris produced a video on Household 2.0 which indicates the same.
