The Department of Housing and Urban Development is pushing an untested
strategy of centralizing the intake on homeless people. They are urging
cities to undertake this system where everyone goes to the same place
to be screened for the best path off the streets. Cleveland moved to a
Central Intake model in 2008 for men, and in 2012 for families. The
shelters that receive public money must participate in the Central
Intake. The benefits are that shelters cannot screen people out who are
hard to serve as they had done in the past. The problem in Cleveland
is that the Central Intake are in shelters which draws more people to
shelter.
