Data Elements: 4.19 Coordinated Entry Assessment
Data Element
The Coordinated Entry Assessment element is a flexible data element that collects an assessment date, location, and result. It allows CoCs (Continuum of Care) to define their own assessment questions and responses and categorizes each assessment into different types: Crisis Needs or Housing Needs. This data element is intended to standardize data collection on core components of Coordinated Entry like access, assessment, referral, and prioritization.
The Coordinated Entry Assessment element is only used in projects that are doing coordinated assessments as part of a CoC's coordinated entry system to capture information and efforts made to house the client for planning purposes.
