The New Orleans Office of Homeless Services funds low-barrier bridge shelters, the Low Barrier Shelter near Earhart Boulevard, and Rapid Rehousing placements coordinated through the UNITY-led Coordinated Entry system.
New Orleans operates a Coordinated Entry system administered by UNITY of Greater New Orleans through which all federally funded shelter and rehousing slots are allocated. The Low Barrier Shelter accepts adults regardless of sobriety, identification, or mental-health status, distinguishing it from older program-model shelters. Rapid Rehousing programs fund up to 24 months of subsidy paired with case management. The Travelers Aid Society of Greater New Orleans provides identification recovery, transportation, and family reunification. City funding flows through the HRPC HUD Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity each year.
Shelter providers ignoring low-barrier or non-discrimination terms in their HUD CoC contracts risk defunding, federal recapture of grant balances, and removal from the Coordinated Entry referral network.
