Community Resources
Service providers and the Partnership to End Homelessness work together to systemize and standardize how people experiencing homelessness access, are assessed, referred and prioritized for program referrals. This is called Coordinated Entry (more info) and there are full Written Standards approved by the OCPEH Leadership Team in December 2021 and Coordinated Entry Policies & Procedures approved by the OCPEH Leadership Team in October 2022.
