In 2018, Crossroads and the Rhode Island Coalition for the Homeless partnered to create the Coordinated Entry System. Coordinated Entry is a federal mandate that requires the state’s homeless service providers to integrate their efforts to achieve the following goals:
Make it easier for people to access services
Identify and prioritize services based on need
Make sure that people who need help the most, get help first
