A step-by-step guide to the By-Name List

Being on the By-Name List (BNL) can help people connect with housing or supports, but it does not guarantee housing immediately.

Step 1
Do an intake at any one of our intake points to get added to the list.

Step 2
The Coordinated Housing Access Team (CHAT) meets on a regular basis to match people to available units based on priority.

Step 3
When a client comes up as a potential match for a unit, someone from CHAT will reach out to let them know about the housing opportunity.

Step 4
If the client is interested in the unit, we can support them with attending a viewing, facilitating the lease signing, helping them organize paying a damage deposit, and setting up ongoing rent payments.

If you are in need of housing and want to learn more, please contact 867-332-0630 or email [email protected].

Homelessness is an issue that impacts the whole community.

The costs of not having a stable and safe place to call home are high for Whitehorse.

It impacts the availability of healthcare resources, the use of tax dollars, the availability of workers for local businesses, and the overall health and safety of this place we all love to call home.

Providing housing is one of the simplest things we can do to keep our community healthy.

Ensuring our community has housing = Investing in Children

A long-term economic benefit of affordable housing is the chance to decrease childhood poverty.

According to Mark Rank, a Professor of Social Welfare at Washington University, “It is estimated that for every dollar spent on reducing childhood poverty, the country would save at least $7 with respect to the economic costs of poverty.”

When children have consistent, safe, and stable housing, they are more likely to succeed in school and have the tools for social mobility, which is key for economic growth for our communities.
