Arizona Housing Coalition (AZHC)

?? We are committed to data-driven work that increases affordable housing and reduces the incidence and length of homelessness across Arizona. Because of this, we are passing along an opportunity to contribute your feedback on coordinated entry systems and how individuals experiencing homelessness enter permanent supportive housing (PSH). ?? The HKS Government Performance Lab (GPL) and Enterprise Community Partners have launched the Coordinated Entry Systems (CES) Housing Optimization Initiative to better understand how coordinated entry systems impact the ways people experiencing homelessness are connected to PSH across the country. ?? IMPORTANT: The deadline to weigh in is this Thursday, September 19. ?? Learn More: https://lnkd.in/eTgNS4P9 ??
