Assessment

Coordinated Entry uses a basic HMIS enrollment and a two-question Housing Triage Tool (HTT)* collecting only the minimal amount of information needed for service matching and prioritization. 

  • History of homelessness (HUD mandated)  
  • Disability information (HUD mandated) 
  • Income (HUD mandated)  
  • Household type 
  • Pregnancy in household 

Coordinated Entry also collects information on housing preferences, needs, and barriers using the Housing Needs Form (HNF).  

*As of March 2022, the Vulnerability Index-Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool or VI-SPDAT is no longer part of Coordinated Entry
