Norfolk's Central Intake system connects homeless families to a continuum of services including assessment, prevention, rapid rehousing, and ongoing case management. Over 1,600 calls are received monthly, with over 500 families receiving financial assistance in 2009. The system leverages multiple funding sources but faces challenges due to reduced funding and increased housing costs.
