Coordinated Entry in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County is run by the Continuum of Care (CoC) — a network of local organizations working together to help people who are homeless or at risk of losing their housing.

Through Coordinated Entry, the CoC works to:

  • Learn about your housing and service needs
  • Connect you with available shelter, housing programs, or other resources
  • Offer referrals to supportive services that may help you stay housed

The CoC cannot promise housing for everyone. What we can do is connect you to the best available resources in our community.
