FAQ

What is Coordinated Entry? (CE) 

Coordinated Entry is intended to help people experiencing homelessness find stable housing by identifying, assessing, and connecting them to housing support services and housing resources. CE uses a standardized Housing Triage Tool and Housing Needs Form that matches services and available housing resources to people experiencing homelessness.
