HOW IT WORKS
The SGCES is a client centered process that streamlines access to the most appropriate housing intervention for each individual or family experiencing homelessness, Within the Coordinated Entry System, clients are prioritized for housing based on vulnerability through a process that is data-driven in real time.
The South Georgia Coordinated Entry System (SGCES) for adults, youth, and families coordinates supportive services and housing resources across Rural Georgia, to form a collaborative, no-wrong door network that connects homeless individuals and households to services and housing.
SGCES:
- Creates many “front doors”, to the homeless services delivery system, making all participating providers a point of access.
- Lifts the burden of navigating a complex maze of resources from the person experiencing homelessness by providing someone to help navigate the housing process.
- Encourages resource coordination among service providers so that people receive the right type and level of services and housing support for their needs.
- Ensures strategic use of limited resources.
- Distributes resources more equitably across the region.
