The Lex End Homelessness Continuum of Care operates a Housing Triage System—also known as a Coordinated Entry System—to assess the needs of those experiencing literal homelessness and facilitate their access to permanent housing resources. Individuals who are residing in emergency shelters, on the streets, or in places not meant for human habitation can complete a screening with a participating access point agency to be placed onto the community’s prioritization list. Similar to a hospital emergency department, the Housing Triage system works to pair those seeking assistance with available housing resources based upon need, with the most critical cases being addressed first and households being paired with the appropriate housing and service supports to achieve and maintain permanent housing.
