How to Start Pasco County Homelessness Coordinated Entry
Use the access point that matches the household—single adult, family with children, or veteran—so the correct assessment can begin.
Start here
Use the Pasco County Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry page to choose the current access point. Families with minor children can call the Coalition for the Homeless at 727-842-8605, extension 7; other household types have different access points.
Extension 7; use the official CES page for single-adult and veteran access points
