Status Assessments

Coordinated Entry: Status Assessments

Client information provided via status assessments within the Coordinated Entry program determines variables such as chronically homeless status and percentage of area median income, which are calculated from program enrollment if a status assessment has not been completed.

To ensure a client is accurately referred to all properties for which they are eligible, service providers must submit a “Status Update Assessment” when client information has changed. An “Annual Assessment” should be completed annually.

Service providers should also complete a Current Living Situation (CLS) when a status assessment is entered. These activities will ensure that a client’s Coordinated Entry program remains active, the client remains on the Community Queue, and the client is accurately referred to projects for which they are eligible.
