By-Name List

Homeless Prevention Services

If you are currently experiencing homelessness or are at risk of losing your housing, we may be able to prioritize you for various services in Haldimand and Norfolk.

The By-Name List (BNL) is an up-to-date list of all individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Haldimand and Norfolk area.


The goal of the BNL is to match homeless individuals and families to appropriate housing support services based on their unique needs. People identified as being at the greatest risk are offered available housing services and support first. When housing options are not readily available, the Social Services & Housing staff will explore other existing services and supports to help keep people safe while looking for housing solutions.

If you are currently experiencing homelessness, you must complete the mandatory fields on the referral form below to be included on the BNL for prioritization of any/all services and support for temporary or permanent housing or rehousing. If you need assistance in completing this form, please contact us.


Once you complete the information below, a Social Services & Housing staff member will contact you as soon as possible to confirm your circumstances and make every effort to connect with you monthly after that. Once you are added to the BNL your information will remain available for matching unless you explicitly revoke consent, which you may do at any time.


To ensure we can stay connected to you please provide a working phone number or a contact number where messages may be left for you. We will make every effort to connect regularly with you, please help us help you. You can expect to hear from someone within 14 business days of submission of this form.
