At Doorways of NW Florida, we participate in and promote the use of the Coordinated Entry System (CES), a community-wide approach to ensuring that individuals and families experiencing or at risk of housing instability are matched with the right services as efficiently and fairly as possible.

Coordinated Entry is a streamlined intake and assessment process used by providers across the Continuum of Care (CoC). Rather than navigating multiple agencies or applying for different programs on their own, individuals and families can go through one access point to be evaluated and referred to the most appropriate housing and support options available.
