BoS Coordinated Entry

Coordinated Entry increases efficiency in homeless services by standardizing how people access programs and coordinating referrals. Under the HEARTH Act, HUD requires all CoCs to implement coordinated Entry. The Balance of State CoC is implementing a decentralized coordinated Entry system, with each Regional Committee selecting the model that best fits its resources and community needs.

To learn more about Coordinated Entry, review the Coordinated Entry Council materials below.
