THIS PAGE PROVIDES RESOURCES AND GUIDANCE AROUND BY NAME LIST SCORECARD QUESTION 1D
Does your by-name list include all young people currently experiencing homelessness including:
1D: Young people fleeing or attempting to flee unsafe or unstable situations
Resources :
Questions to Consider:
What providers that are serving YYA who are fleeing are not at the table?
I.e : Safe Havens, Private DV shelters, Fleeing trafficking centers…
Could we get them diversion trained and certified?
How do we get them to the table?
What are their tracking systems? (internal BNL)
Actions to Consider:
Meet with leaders of these agencies to discuss tracking processes. Creating a partnership with other agencies/ providers that are not part of the homelessness system is a great way to track young people fleeing or attempting to flee
Create a cross agency/ community policy to create a reporting system so the YYA in these facilities can be accounted for in your BNL data.
Community Highlight: Walla Walla
Blue Mountain Action Council partnered with local YWCA DV shelter to de-duplicate YYA on BNL by acting as a CE access point:
BMAC staff visit shelter 1x a week to complete CE enrollment and refer YYA to housing navigation services.
The YWCA keeps an internal tracking system for residents that assigns them to a YWCA-generated identifier. YWCA staff create a consent-refused profile for enrollment in HMIS and type the YWCA-generated identifier into HMIS in the “other name(s) or aliases” box. YYA sign an ROI for this YWCA-generated identifier to be shared with BMAC staff.
BMAC Navigators use this YWCA-generated identifier to search for YYA in HMIS. This will pull up the consent-refused profile previously created. BMAC Navigators enroll YYA in CE with this profile to de-duplicate enrollments on BNL.
BMAC keeps their own internal tracking system for YYA that include their YWCA-generated identifier, their HMIS unique identifier, and the name associated with them to reference and for record-keeping.
