Coordinated Entry
The Macomb County CoC utilizes a Coordinated Entry (CE) System for those experiencing homelessness to connect them with housing resources and opportunities. Coordinated Entry is the first step toward accessing housing resources in Macomb County.
How it Works
Coordinated Entry is the first step of the homeless responses system in Macomb County. Anyone seeking homeless services must go through the Coordinated Entry System.
Access Points
Coordinated Entry Access Points are the community's front door for housing assistance programs in Macomb County. The access points provided below and the populations they serve are available to begin the process of linking those experiencing homelessness to housing problem solving, resources and supportive housing programs. All access points utilize the same assessment approach.
Assessment
A CE Assessment will be completed to determine the individual or families housing needs. This assessment can be completed at any access point. This assessment will also help determine what type of housing assistance they may be eligible for and what next steps will be.
By-Name-List
The By-Name-List is a list of homeless individuals, families and youth who are prioritized by need. This list helps connect those who are most vulnerable to housing programs first, but does not guarantee a spot in any specific program.
