Coordinated Access

Coordinated Access is Durham Region’s community-wide approach to connecting individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness with appropriate housing and support services. It ensures that people are matched to the right supports at the right time, based on their needs and circumstances.

Watch this short video to learn more about homelessness, what it looks like, the challenges people face, and how the community is working together to create meaningful solutions. This is part of our ongoing effort to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and drive coordinated action to end homelessness. 

By-Name List (BNL)

The By-Name List is a real-time, up-to-date list of individuals known to be experiencing homelessness. It allows communities to understand individual's unique needs to match them to appropriate housing resources. This list is generated through Coordinated Access.

If you are facing homelessness, you can be connected to the following Community Access Points, in order to complete a vulnerability assessment and be added to the Durham Region By-Name List.
