Lincoln Homeless Coalition

Coordinated Entry

The All Doors Lead Home Coordinated Entry System is the City of Lincoln’s approach to organizing and providing housing services for people experiencing homelessness. Because housing resources are limited, this process is designed to ensure that individuals and families with the highest vulnerability, service needs, and length of homelessness receive top priority in housing placement.

Coordinated Entry will:

• Divert people away from the homeless services system who have other safe options for housing, so they never enter homelessness.
• Help open the system by moving people more quickly through the referral process.
• Reduce duplication of efforts and help serve individuals better.
• Reduce frustration for service providers through targeting and engagement efforts.
• Quickly move people from homelessness by connecting them to the most appropriate housing program available.
• Assist communities with ending homelessness.
• Be good stewards of limited resources.

Individuals and families experiencing homelessness can access the All Doors Lead Home Coordinated Entry system by completing an assessment at a Public Door agency.

Updated listings of Public Door agencies and more information about Coordinated Entry can be found on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Children, Families, and the Law (CCFL) website. CCFL provides oversight and management of the Coordinated Entry system for Lincoln and the rural areas of Nebraska.
