Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness

The Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness seeks to ensure that people living in Vermont have a safe, stable, affordable home, and — if homelessness does occur — it is brief, rare, and non-recurring and those experiencing homelessness are treated with dignity and respect.

What is Coordinated Entry?

Paving the way for more efficient housing assistance, Coordinated Entry (CE)  is a process that ensures people experiencing a housing crisis have fair and equal access and are quickly identified, assessed for, referred and connected to housing assistance based on their strengths and needs. The VT BoS CoC uses a Local Coordinated Entry Partnership model to help Vermonters experiencing or at risk of homelessness to get connected to the housing help they need as quickly as possible.
