We create collaborative housing solutions to drive community change.

CHIP - Coalition for Homelessness Intervention & Prevention is the only organization in Indianapolis driving a system-wide, community response to make homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring.

Through leadership and collaboration, CHIP:
Secures funding for housing and services
Manages and analyzes data collected by homeless providers
Advocates for policy change at the local and national levels
Supports community partners as we work together to end homelessness

CHIP board and staff members believe that successful efforts toward ending homelessness require the collective talents, resources, and commitment of the entire Indianapolis community. No one group or individual has the ability to address these issues alone. We need your help to create collaborative housing solutions to drive community change in Indianapolis.

Coordinated Entry Housing Needs Assessments during COVID-19

The Indianapolis Coordinated Entry System (CES) provides a structured process for entry, assessment, scoring, prioritization, determining eligibility, and referral for homeless housing and services. The goal is to efficiently and fairly allocate resources by prioritizing severity of service needs and vulnerability using policies established by the Indianapolis Continuum of Care (CoC) in accordance with the Indianapolis CoC Written Standards.
