  1. Review of “One Way In”NAEH Coordinated Entry Briefing Paper Coordinated Entry Stakeholder Meeting May 23, 2013

  2. Purpose of Review • Just a starting point • Help create a common language • The brief is only about families, but • Sacramento’s system will be inclusive of all homeless people

  3. What Is Coordinated Entry? A system of intake, assessment and referral • Same assessment tool • Collective set of policies and procedures • Access to comprehensive information • Matches each individual or family to the “right sized” intervention

  4. Preliminary Research • In many homeless systems, resources are conferred on a small subset of families with primarily “economic” needs • While those with multiple significant challenges fall thru the cracks • CE makes it easier for communities to match applicants to the services they need, no matter how difficult their barriers are to address

  5. Goal of Coordinated Entry Match applicants to the “right” intervention Assessments and referral decisions based on: • Specific requirements • Target population(s) • Availability of beds/units and services

  6. Why Coordinated Entry? Benefits to Homeless People Benefits to Program Staff

  7. Without Coordinated Entry: • Potential of multiple agency visits • Intake forms or requirements • HMIS data entry • Slow down in assistance for families • Extra staff time & money for providers

  8. Two Main Models Centralized Decentralized

  9. Centralized & Decentralized • Single location vs. multiple locations (and/or 211) • Small city/good transit vs. large/spread out with poor transit • Fewer vs. more sites needed (and more coordination) • Accessibility is a concern in both models • No set staffing plan

  10. System Mapping • “Map” existing services and see what’s lacking • If there is overlap and duplication, evaluate what unique services each program provides and where there are opportunities for collaboration

  11. How Will We Know It Works? Evaluate on an ongoing basis Evaluation can include: • Consumer input • Assessment of results • Establish feedback

  12. Final Thoughts Coordinated entry potential: • Simplified roles • Shortened path • Sense of system-wide responsibility

  13. Ongoing evaluation vis-à-vis HEARTH goals • Length of stay • New entries • Repeat episodes • Overall homelessness • Making adjustments in system & models
