CE Participating Agency Resources

​River Valleys CoC has developed detailed policies and procedures, helpful resources, and training opportunities for agencies and programs that participate in Coordinated Entry (CE) in our region.

CE policies are maintained by the Coordinated Entry Committee and are subject to approval by the CoC membership. Procedures and forms may be changed as needed through the CE Providers Group and CoC staff. 

Participating agencies are required to use approved forms for completing assessments and receiving referrals. The most current version of forms will be posted here. ​
