OneHome

A client-centered approach to housing the most vulnerable in our community.

OneHome is the Coordinated Entry System for the Metro Denver region. Coordinated Entry is a client-centered process that partners with service providers and community members to assess and identify the housing needs of people experiencing homelessness. OneHome Coordinated Entry matches individuals, youth, and families to the appropriate available housing resource while elevating client choice.

The OneHome Coordinated Entry System is comprised of the following components:

1. Assessment

OneHome utilizes the Vulnerability Index and Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) to assess an individual's level of vulnerability at locations throughout the seven-county region.

We recommend that Assessors work on ordering vital documents for their clients and help them apply to external housing resources regardless of whether or not they are prioritized.

2. Prioritization

OneHome uses vulnerability factors to prioritize and match clients to housing including documented disability, length of time homeless, age, and more.

After a household is prioritized, they work with case managers and partner organizations to navigate housing resources and additional supports as needed.

4. Housing Referral

Prioritized households are matched to housing opportunities in the community based on availability, client preferences, and program requirements.

5. Data Collection

OneHome safely manages client-specific data collected by community partners to inform process improvement, generate housing matches, and track client outcomes.
