The Coordinates Entry System (CES) is an administrative process to ensure a common assessment that collects eligibility data for individuals and families experiencing literal homelessness.
A well-designed Coordinated Entry System ensures:
- People experiencing literal homelessness are quickly identified,
- Assessed for their needs, and
- Referred and connected to appropriate housing based on their eligibility, needs, and preferences
The Indianapolis CoC implements a “no wrong door” approach, allowing individuals and families experiencing homelessness to connect with a Skilled Assessor at a service provider of their choice.
