Coordinated Entry

Coordinated Entry (CE) is a system that allows for coordinated entry into a local homeless services system, as well as coordinated movement within and ultimately exit from the system. Coordinated Entry increases the efficiency of a homeless assistance system by standardizing access to homeless services and coordinating program referrals.

The Ohio Balance of State Continuum of Care (BoSCoC) is committed to sustaining a CE system that will help to advance our goals of helping households quickly access appropriate services to address housing crises, increasing exits to housing, decreasing length of time homeless, and reducing returns to homelessness.

You can contact information for all CE Access Points in the Ohio BoSCoC here: https://cohhio.org/boscoc/

Coordinated Entry Events Update

Clarity has scheduled substantial updates for Monday, November 14, 2022. These updates will impact some workflows for client enrollments. Services like “Referral to Prevention Assistance project” and “Problem Solving/Diversion/Rapid Resolution intervention or service” will no longer appear under the Provide Services tab in an open enrollment. These and other Coordinated Entry-related services will appear in a new tab called Events. The COHHIO HMIS Team will have access to test this new Events tab on Monday, October 31, 2022. After testing, our team will provide more detailed information about how to adjust workflows. For more information, please see the documentation provided by our HMIS vendor below.
