The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing offers Family Coordinated Entry at our community Access Points. Family Access Points are localized community gateways for families with children under the age of 18 experiencing homelessness to access San Francisco’s Homelessness Response System, which is the overall system of programs and housing opportunities for families experiencing homelessness.

Family CE Access Points are operated by two non-profit service providers, Catholic Charities and Compass Family Services, at three community locations: Central City Access Point, Bayview Access Point and Mission Access Point

Family Access Points provide problem solving, assessment, prioritization, and referral to housing, and other community services for San Francisco families experiencing homelessness.

Adults (aged 18 or older ) without minor children can be served via Adult Coordinated Entry. Youth aged 18 to 27 can also receive services at Adult Access Points.

Youth between the ages of 18 and 27 can also be served via Youth Coordinated Entry.

The Coordinated Entry Subcommittee meets monthly. The purpose of the subcommittee is to provide recommendations to the Local Homeless Coordinating Board related to the Coordinated Entry System.

The Coordinated Entry Subcommittee shall:

• Ensure that the San Francisco Coordinated Entry Written Standards is developed, implemented and evaluated consistent and compliant with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD);
• Convene system-wide stakeholders for coordinated planning and improvement of the Coordinated Entry System and after consultation with stakeholders;
• Make recommendations for improvement and bring for approval any proposed significant changes in the design and delivery of the Coordinated Entry System; and
• Ensure all other functions or requirements that are necessary to ensure that the Coordinated Entry process is conducted in an accessible, consistent, equitable manner and connects households to the appropriate service or resource in a timely manner according to requirements outlined by HUD.

The Coordinated Entry Subcommittee meets the second Tuesday of each month from 1pm – 2pm. Meetings are held in-person and virtually on Zoom. In-person and virtual meeting access details are included in each agenda.
