Strategies To End Homelessness Inc

Operated a homelessness prevention program in partnership with five local agencies for residents of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and funded by federal, state, local, and private dollars. The program offers rent/utility assistance combined with case management services to divert persons/households from otherwise going into emergency shelter, as it has been demonstrated to be more cost effective than the cost of emergency shelter.

Administered the Community's Homeless Management Information System, a shared online database that tracks client-level data and is required of each Continuum of Care (CoC) by HUD. HUD then uses this data to better implement and create policy. HMIS staff ensure the CoC has a robust HMIS that provides high-quality data for analysis and ongoing system improvement.

Operated Coordinated Entry, a prioritization process by which people experiencing homelessness are given access to housing and assistance based on their level of need and resources available. Another aspect of Coordinated Entry is the Central Access Point, a centralized helpline offering access to information and emergency shelter, as well as screening for shelter diversion.
