Shelter Support Grantees ​

It is a requirement of ​grantees that shelter unhoused individuals participate in Coordinated Entry and provide daily shelter use. Grantees must agree too:  

HOMELESS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM AND COORDINATED ENTRY. 

​A. Data Entry into Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Recipient shall enterinformation into Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) (currently ServicePoint) on all people served with this funding. Data requirements include:
  1. Client data must be complete, accurate, and entered into the database within 48 hours of client’s enrollment or admittance to shelter; and
  2. Recipient must have a secure IT network, be able to pay for the required ServicePoint  license fees, and employ staff to do data entry after receiving proper training through the System Administrator for the Rural Oregon Continuum of Care (ROCC): ROCC HMIS Lead: David Mulig, [email protected]
B. Coordinated Entry. By January 1, 2023, implementation will begin as follows: Recipient must determine if the client has been given a Coordinated Entry (CE) Assessment by reviewing the client records in HMIS (currently ServicePoint). If no assessment has been done, Recipient staff shall attempt to complete the CE Assessment with unhoused clients who have utilized services for 7 or more days in a month. If the guest agrees, the full assessment, including the Base Assessment and Vulnerability Assessment (currently the VI-SPDAT v. 2) must be entered into ServicePoint as an enrollment under the Community Services Consortium (CSC) Coordinated Entry Assessment provider or other designated entity. If the client refuses, the refusal should be noted. If the Recipient staff is not trained to administer the Coordinated Entry Assessment, they should refer the guest to a trained provider such as Community Services Consortium to have the assessment completed with the client.
  1.  Coordinated Entry Utilization. Should Recipient provide microshelters, transitional housing, and/or permanent supportive housing, they must utilize the local Coordinated Entry referral list to find applicants for all of their project vacancies. Recipient shall offer placements to those who score in the appropriate range for the project as determined by the sanctioned vulnerability assessment tool in use (currently the VI-SPDAT v. 2). For example, permanent supportive housing slots should be offered to those who score in the Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) range of the VI-SPDAT. Selected applicants must also meet the written eligibility criteria established by the Recipient for project participants. Recipient shall not be required to offer application to those on the Coordinated Entry referral list who do not meet the requirements for their project (i.e., a project designated for families with children shall not be required to offer placement to single adults regardless of vulnerability score). Recipient must be able to keep client records (both electronic and hard copy) in a safe, secure manner.
