What is the Coordinated Entry System?
The Coordinated Entry System (CES) is a collaborative community response to anyone experiencing homelessness. It provides streamlined and equitable access to housing interventions for people experiencing homelessness in Memphis/Shelby County.
The Memphis/Shelby County Coordinated Entry System has been developed to achieve this goal and to align with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements. HUD guidelines address key components of Coordinated Entry, including how people access the system, the standardized assessment tools used, and how people are prioritized for different types of housing interventions.
Coordinated Entry is a systematic response to anyone experiencing homelessness within Memphis and Shelby County. Our Coordinated Entry System was created to identify, assist, house, and prevent homelessness in a swift and efficient manner.
All CES forms, documents and Policy & Procedure Manual are all located in Coalition Manager.
