CES is a process through which people experiencing homelessness — or people at imminent risk of experiencing homelessness — can access the crisis response system in a streamlined way, have their strengths and needs assessed, and quickly connect to the appropriate housing and mainstream services within the community. A person can be added to the Coordinated Entry System by walking into Room In The Inn at 705 Drexel St.

Metro Social Services at 800 2nd Ave. N.

or by any housing navigator or service provider that has access to this system (Mental Health Co-operative, Open Table Nashville, Park Center, The Nashville Rescue Mission, and others.)
