Referrals are generated from Coordinated Entry case conferencing. Currently, CE case conferencing is fielded primarily through online, digital formats. CE Assessors can view available housing units through a Coordinated Entry online hub and submit nominations to these units for households who are prepared to complete housing application packets. Once a match is made to a unit through the CE tiebreaking process, CE team members facilitate the housing referral and connect the Assessor or housing navigator with the housing provider.
Housing providers who receive 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.
