Appendix

Indigenous Coordinated Access System in Ottawa

There are three Indigenous organizations in Ottawa who are funded to implement coordinated access in Ottawa: Wabano, Minwaashin Lodge, TI (Tungasuvvingat Inuit) and Odawa Native Friendship Centre.

Currently, everyone who is in shelter or living unhoused are referred to Wabano to complete an intake and then placed on our Indigenous Coordinated Access waitlist to be matched to one of the housing at either Wabano, Minwaashin Ldoge or TI (Tungasuvvingat Inuit).

What is a coordinated access system?

From Reaching Home: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy Directives

A coordinated access system is the process by which individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness are directed to community-level access points where trained workers use a common assessment tool to evaluate the individual or family’s depth of need, prioritize them for housing support services and then help to match them to available housing focused interventions.

Quality coordinated access systems share several features, including a centralized database that collects and displays real-time data on clients and available housing and supports; clear access points of entry; common assessment; standardized protocols; and resources (for example, staff) focused on ensuring that people can connect with appropriate housing and housing supports in an efficient manner.

Definitions:

Access: the engagement point for the individual or family experiencing a housing crisis. This may include emergency shelters, mobile outreach teams, day centres, other community-based organizations and hotlines.
Assessment: the process of gathering information about an individual or family accessing the crisis system.
Prioritization: the process of determining the individual’s or family’s priority for housing based on information gathered through the assessment.
Matching and referral: the process whereby the individual or family is matched to and offered housing based on project-specific eligibility, needs and preferences
