  • Connections Week Faqs
    Connections Week FAQs What is a Connections Week? Connections Week, previously called registry week, is a week to focus on the stories and needs of people sleeping on the streets and in crisis accommodation. Previously these weeks have been used to triage people sleeping rough or staying in crisis accommodation to ensure that the right type of housing and support is given to the right people. This year the End Street Sleeping Collaboration, in addition to helping the most vulnerable identified through the process also is seeking to establish a By Name List (BNL), to know each individual on the street - by name, and learn their personal stories. This is both to help individuals on an ongoing basis but also to use the understanding of the issues that are leading people to sleep on the streets at this moment, and provide the evidence that we need to make systems change to ‘turn off the taps’ and prevent homelessness. The BNL is not a ‘one off’ but an ongoing evidence based tool to assist individuals and change the system used in approximately 90 communities around the world. Connections Week will be a one off event to establish the BNL with the intention to keep the list live and constantly updated to be able to see each individual’s situation at any time, in real time, not to have an ongoing series of connections week. When will it take place? Connections Week will take place over four days: 5-9am Monday 18 November 5-9am Tuesday 19 November 6-11pm Wednesday 20 November 6-11pm Thursday 21 November What information is being gathered and how? During Connections Week trained volunteers will meet and gather information from people sleeping rough about their housing and healthcare needs.
