Access Points
A Coordinated Entry Access Point is the starting place to resolving a housing crisis. Trained staff will listen as you share a brief overview of your current situation, help you problem-solve, connect you to community resources, and support you in finding a safe and appropriate place to sleep when possible. Our CoC Access Points serve Douglas & Sarpy Counties in Nebraska and Pottawattamie County in Iowa.
