Coordinated Entry is a systemic approach to connecting people experiencing homelessness with available assistance in the community. It is an important way to ensure fair and equitable access to limited housing resources and is a Federal and State requirement. The goals of the new Coordinated Entry System are to:

(1) Facilitate connections to mainstream and community services for as many persons experiencing homelessness as local resources allow;

(2) Streamline the process for matching to limited housing resources within the Housing for Health Partnership network (CoC); and

(3) Prioritize resources for households with the most significant barriers to getting and keeping housing and for those with the greatest personal health and safety risks.

H4HP Connectors may work as part of an outreach team, drop-in center, multi-service center, or other program serving people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. They engage with persons experiencing homelessness, build rapport, enroll participants in HMIS programs and collect participant data.

Connectors offer problem solving assistance with all participants and may conduct a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA). The HNA provides Connectors and participants with information needed to create and act together on an individualized Housing Action Plan and provides information to determine which participants are eligible and prioritized for H4H-supported housing and services.

Only the highest priority households are added to the queue for the system's limited housing resources.

Housing for Health is a program that aims to support and house chronically homeless individuals in Santa Cruz County through therapeutic case management and access to the Disabled and Medically Vulnerable (DMV) Housing Choice Voucher administered by the Housing Authority. Participants receive assistance applying for the DMV voucher, coaching and navigation expertise on effective housing search methods, advocacy and referrals to additional resources, and retention support once housing is secured to ensure long-term stability. Housing for Health is a participant in Santa Cruz County's Smart Path Coordinated Entry System, which is a prioritization database that links those experiencing homelessness with services that they qualify for based on their unique vulnerability score. If you, or those you know, are experiencing homelessness and looking to secure a pathway to housing, please go to one of the Public Access Points to complete an assessment in order to be entered into the database and linked to appropriate services. The Housing for Health program is solely taking referrals from the Smart Path Coordinated Entry System and cannot guarantee that an assessment into the System will result in a referral to the Housing for Health program.
