The Coordinated Entry System (CES) in Kansas is designed to provide a streamlined and equitable process for connecting individuals and families experiencing homelessness with appropriate housing and support services. By utilizing standardized access points, assessments, prioritization criteria, and referrals, CES ensures that the most vulnerable populations are prioritized for assistance. This system simplifies service navigation for both households and providers, enhances coordination among service agencies, and improves data-driven decision-making. Service providers play a critical role in CES by conducting assessments, ensuring data quality, and collaborating with partner agencies to deliver effective, client-centered services. Resources on this page help providers understand and implement CES practices effectively, ensuring a coordinated community response to homelessness.
