Referrals are the process for service providers to move their unhoused client into housing resources within the Coordinated Entry System.
Referrals are facilitated by Coordinated Entry System staff, nominations are made by service providers across the region who assist households with documentation preparation, connection to programs post-referral, and other supportive activities.
Housing providers who are receiving Coordinated Entry referrals are encouraged to attend weekly Office Hour meetings to inform, coordinate, and collaborate with the nominating providers and Coordinated Entry System staff.
Households can decline available housing resources based on preference or need without negative repercussions.
