Homeless Services Network of Central Florida operates Orlando's Continuum of Care coordinated entry, prioritizing bridge and rapid-rehousing placements through vulnerability assessments and partnerships with Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida.
The Continuum of Care (CoC) administered by Homeless Services Network of Central Florida (HSN) coordinates HUD-funded bridge housing, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing for Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. Clients enter through coordinated entry assessments scoring vulnerability, chronic homelessness status, and family composition. Coalition for the Homeles of Central Florida operates the largest emergency shelter and the men's pavilion. Bridge housing rules require sobriety-friendly low-barrier intake at most beds, daytime case management participation, and graduation timelines of 30 to 90 days. Florida HB 1365 (2024) increased pressure on intake throughput as encampment sweeps escalate.
Although bridge housing access is voluntary, refusing case management or sobriety conditions can result in discharge to street outreach status, complicating prioritization for permanent supportive housing referrals.
