By Name Lists (BNL) Review from CEA Policy Subcommitee meeting on 11/10/16. One of the recommendations from the Barb Poppe report is to use BNL in coordination with CEA. Our community has proposed the use of a BNL for veterans (already exists), LTSS, Youth and Young Adults, Chronically Homeless Single Adults, and Families.

Dusty Olson from the City of Seattle has been talking to and visiting other communities to learn about their BNL processes including challenges and successes of implementation. Dusty provided the subcommittee with a brief overview of her learnings so far.

Potential Goals of BNL  Housing Placements  Matching people off the list with available housing openings  Housing Navigation  Making sure people nearing the top of the list have all necessary documents and services in place  Service Coordination  Ensuring wrap-around services for people on the list or in housing

Lessons Learned From Other Communities  Flexibility is key  Focus is on filling vacancies as fast as possible  Having the right people at the table is essential  Be willing to change the process as you learn  Most people will opt in for participation if it is presented effectively
