ByName List

A ByName List is a real-time list of people experiencing homelessness in our community.  It includes a robust set of data points that support coordinated access and prioritization at a household level, and an understanding of homeless inflow and outflow at a system level.  This real-time actionable data supports triage to services, system performance evaluation, and advocacy.

 

What is a ByName List used for?

Community Level (non-identifying information)

  • Track how many people are becoming homeless, moving into housing and changes in real-time.
  • Measures progress toward goal of homelessness reduction
  • Collects concrete evidence for the services we need more of to best meet community needs

Individual level (confidential identifiable information)

  • Share client information between service providers to reduce duplication of work, avoid individuals re-answering the same questions multiple times
  • Prioritize clients based on vulnerability and need

 Housing Resources Available to participants of ByName List

  •  By Name List Rent Subsidy (Short term rent subsidy to bridge time between securing market rent and securing a rent subsidy or RGI until)

  • Priority Access to Adult Supportive Housing Beds

  • Mental Health Housing Base Case Management

  • Harm Reduction Supports

  • Bridge Housing at 9 Armstrong, Smiths Falls  (access to transitional housing units with LCMH)

  • Housing Assistance Funds (additional access to housing assistance funding to secure sustainable affordable housing opportunities)

All services above are dedicated to people on the By Name List actively experiencing homelessness living in Lanark County.
