This training will provide an overview of Coordinated Entry (CE) systems in Nebraska, opportunities that CE creates for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and how victim service providers can maximize those opportunities.

Coordinated entry systems manage access to housing resources that include prevention/diversion, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, and permanent housing resources. By becoming active partners with CE systems, domestic violence/ sexual violence programs can ensure that survivors have access to the community’s full range of housing supports and resources.

Statewide organizations, including a domestic violence shelter program, will share practices related to coordinated entry access for domestic violence/ sexual assault survivors and people experiencing homelessness. Coordinated Entry processes will be described including assessments, vulnerability scoring, confidentiality practices, and screening & selection for housing resources for survivors.

Please join us to learn how you can assist survivors in accessing Coordinated Entry systems and housing resources.

Course Objectives:
- Participants will understand how coordinated entry can be valuable in connecting domestic violence/ sexual assault survivors with housing resources.
- Participants will become acquainted with statewide coordinated entry systems and processes.
- Participants will be able to identify ways to build partnerships across victim services and housing systems to offer effective coordinated entry processes.
