August CES Scoop - Reminder: Update Current Living Situation for Clients

CES Scoop - Hennepin CoC Coordinated Entry

Current Living Situation

Update current living  situation

 

Remember to update Current Living Situation in the assessment anytime it changes.

Housing Providers should especially keep this top of mind when:

  • Completing intake with the client.
  • During the housing search.

Assessors should keep this top of mind when:

  • Doing monthly check-ins with clients they assessed.
  • Anytime they learn the client's living situation changes.

Medical Fragility

Medical Fragility Prioritization is Live

 

As of August 1st, the Medical Fragility questions in the assessment impact prioritization for housing referrals.

Prioritization is now:

  • Medical Fragility
  • Chronic Homelessness
  • # of HUD Months Homeless

Clients will not get a referral unless the Medical Fragility questions are answered completely.
