Coordinated Entry is one of the most critical components of the homelessness response system, determining who gets housed and how quickly. For affordable housing developers and providers, an effective and equitable Coordinated Entry System (CES) is essential to ensuring that the homes we build reach the people who need them most.
Join us remotely on Tuesday, February 24 from 12-1PM for Opening the Front Door: Efforts to Strengthen Coordinated Entry, as we bring to you two years of work from the NPH Permanent Supportive Housing Work Group that has demystified how CES works, surfaced challenges and innovations, and identified what’s needed to make the system more equitable, transparent, and responsive. Attendees will gain a clear, actionable walkthrough of how Coordinated Entry functions and where providers can influence improvements.
During this session, we’ll walk through the NPH Permanent Supportive Housing Work Group’s new Coordinated Entry Systems: Best Practice Recommendations, a practical, field-informed guide that outlines proven strategies to strengthen CES operations and deepen collaboration between counties, housing providers, and residents. Participants will learn how to leverage the memo to drive local reforms in collaboration with county partners, and explore opportunities to advance common-sense state-level changes that make housing access smoother and more equitable.
