All referrals for Strobel House Permanent Supportive Housing are made through Coordinated Entry at the Office of Homeless Services using HMIS data (Homeless Management Information System). We follow the community process for all referrals made through Coordinated Entry, prioritizing individuals based on assessment score and length of homelessness.
If your organization is not an HMIS certified user and would like to be, please reach out to [email protected]
If you already use HMIS and place your clients’ information in HMIS, you do not need to do anything more. There is not an interested list for the Strobel House.
Coordinated Entry is a process designed to quickly identify, assess, refer, and connect people in crisis to housing, shelter, and assistance. There are over 30 agencies in Nashville that participate in the Coordinated Entry process. The Office of Homeless Services is the Coordinated Entry lead agency and coordinates the strategic planning and day to day functioning of the Coordinated Entry process.
Coordinated Entry is a system-wide approach that serves to assess all persons experiencing a housing crisis to help identify, prioritize, and connect them with the appropriate housing and support service resources as quickly as possible.
