NOTE: This toolkit was published by Building Changes in 2013 to help counties meet a 2014 state mandate that all counties have a coordinated entry system for clients entering the homeless system. It has not been updated since then and does not necessarily reflect current or best practice.
Welcome to Building Changes’ Coordinated Entry Toolkit! Designed to help communities incorporate a coordinated entry system, this toolkit is divided into four sections: Planning, Implementation, Data Collection, and Evaluation.
