Eligibility - The Thurston County Coordinated Entry system serves Thurston County residents experiencing literal homelessness. Literal homelessness is defined as follows:

Living and sleeping outside

Sleeping in a place not meant for human habitation

Staying in a shelter

Fleeing/attempting to flee domestic violence

Exiting an institution (jail, mental health facility….where you resided for up to 90 days and were in a shelter or a place not meant for human habitation immediately prior to entering that institution.

How It Works - If you meet the eligibility requirements and are in need of housing services, please contact the appropriate coordinated entry provider below to schedule an intake appointment. Completing the CE intake appointment will allow for the household to be added to the master list for a referral to continuous-stay shelters and housing programs as those resources become available.

*Please note that intake appointments are not designed for immediate shelter or housing placements. Emergency and night-by-night shelters operate on a first-come first-serve basis and do not require a referral from CE.
