Service Coordination

The Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana works to coordinate efforts and services. How do we do this? Each month we host service providers coming together to network and learn more about one another services and regional challenges. In addition, service providers are participating our new streamlined entry into services project, which seeks to reduce the number of days of homelessness and ineligible referrals in the region. Lastly, service providers participate in the White Flag emergency shelter, meeting our guests where they are to get the services they need. We are better as one.

Streamlined Entry into Services

Thanks to a multi-year grant from the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana and support from the Hazel and Walter T. Bales Foundation, the Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana is completing a two year project seeking to streamline entry into services. The project includes assessing eligibility criteria of area service providers, existing resources, and barriers to entry. With that information the project develops and pilots a process to more quickly connect individuals with the services and resources they need. Project completion is set for May of 2020.

White Flag

The first season of White Flag (2016) the Homeless Coalition began its relationship with service provider engagement by working with members of LifeSpring staff to volunteer at the shelter. Since the first season, the level of engagement from service providers has increased to services being present on site, medical care appointments, vaccines, and HIV testing. In the upcoming season of White Flag, the Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana continues its engagement with service providers to fellowship with guests and connect them with services they need such as smoking cessation, HIV prevention and testing, vaccines, case management, and more. Due to partnership with TARC and LifeSpring, White Flag guests have access to free public transportation.
