Coordinated Entry: Best Practices in Centering Equity and Ensuring Effectiveness
April 18, 2024Effective Coordinated Entry systems increase consistency, efficiency, and equity in communities’ work to end homelessness. In practice, implementation has been an enormous challenge—making the scale of homelessness more visible, laying bare gaps in existing services, while exposing and in many cases exacerbating racial inequities within homelessness and housing systems. Learn from communities who are taking these challenges head on, harnessing the new visibility and clarity that Coordinated Entry has provided, and taking bold steps towards realizing the promise of a more equitable and functional Coordinated Entry System.
This webinar is part of the Alliance’s Roundtable Series – Stronger Together: A Roadmap to An Effective Homeless System.
