This diagram illustrates the Coordinated Entry (CE) process in the Texas Balance of State Continuum of Care. To start, households at risk of or experiencing homelessness appear for housing crisis services at Entry Points. Assessors at Entry Points conduct Diversion, which is a series of conversations or problem-solving strategies connecting households to resources already available to them. If a household is literally homeless or fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence and their housing crisis is not resolved through Diversion, which may take up to 14 days, they complete a CE enrollment, which includes completing a CE assessment. Based on the results of their CE assessment, they are matched to services or programs that best fit their needs, and referrals are made according to the household’s choice and eligibility. After households complete a CE enrollment, they are placed on the region’s Housing Priority List. When there is availability in a housing program, the Receiving Project uses the Housing Priority List to fill that availability– after applying prioritization standards to identify a household and contacting that household to confirm their participation in the project.
