Partner with OneHome

OneHome Partners support and house people experiencing homelessness in metro Denver through our Coordinated Entry System. We serve clients in Arapahoe, Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties.

 

Partner Agencies

Each community partner has an Agency Liaison to keep staff updated on OneHome policies and procedures, help with client navigation, and communicate between their agency and OneHome.

Assessors

Case managers and service providers measure client vulnerability using the VI-SPDAT, which OneHome uses to dynamically prioritize clients in the community queue. Assessors complete training for OneHome and HMIS.

Housing Providers

Housing Providers partner with OneHome to submit vacancies and available resources in HMIS. Once a household is matched through the Prioritization and Referral process, Housing Providers work with the household and other service providers in the community to outreach and engage the household matched to their housing program.
