A basic overview of housing instability and domestic violence
What: Learn more about the intersection of domestic violence and housing instability and how you can help through this interactive 90-minute training provided by Women's Advocates, in collaboration with Coordinated Entry.

This training will cover the basics of domestic violence, recognizing property and tenant signs of domestic violence, the different types of violence, practical skills and scenarios, understanding the consequences of domestic violence and how it relates to homelessness and housing instability (housing barriers), dispel common myths, including why some victims can’t leave, safety planning/how to support victim/survivors, a list of local support organizations in the community for referrals, and more.
There will be an opportunity for a q&a with our housing advocate at the end of the training.

Update the CES Housing Referral Tracking sub assessment
The CES Housing Referral Tracking sub assessment, located in the coordinated entry assessment, always needs to be updated at the conclusion of a referral. Below you will see the two sections that Housing Providers are asked to fill out.
Housing Move-in Date
Housing Move-In Date is the date a household moves into housing. It is vital to record this date to track the length of time it takes for a household to move from the assessment to being housed.
If there is no Housing Move-in Date then the client should be canceled/declined. All referrals should should have an outcome of Cancel/Decline or a Housing Move In Date.
Reminder: When housing someone, please make sure to exit them from the priority list. This entails creating an Exit to their corresponding Entry onto the CES Hennepin Priority list.
