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
