Tenant applications, Coordinated Entry, referrals and wait list
Applicants for supportive housing usually will come through the coordinated entry process, except those programs that are exempt and keep their own waiting list. After receiving referrals from Coordinated Entry, the intake specialist will conduct the screening and select applicants according to the tenant selection criteria for the housing units. Some programs also receive specific referrals from other partners for example, the medical respite units receive referrals from hospitals and other health care providers.
