DTSSAB Acknowledges National Housing Day and Two-Year Anniversary of By Name List Launch

As National Housing Day approaches on November 22nd, The District of Timiskaming Social Services Administration Board (DTSSAB) is proud to join the nation in acknowledging this significant day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of safe and affordable housing for all.

This National Housing Day marks a special milestone for DTSSAB as we celebrate the two-year anniversary of the launch of the By Name List. This innovative tool has proven to be a crucial asset in our ongoing efforts to address homelessness in our district. The By Name List facilitates collaboration among community partners, allowing for the seamless sharing of data to identify individuals at risk or currently experiencing homelessness. This collaborative approach ensures that those in need receive timely and targeted support from a network of dedicated service providers.

Since its launch two years ago, the By Name List has played a pivotal role in improving the coordination and effectiveness of our efforts to assist individuals facing housing challenges, assisting over 101 community members. The tool has not only enhanced communication among service providers but has also helped streamline the process of connecting vulnerable individuals with the appropriate support services.

The DTSSAB invites the community to join us in celebrating National Housing Day and recognizing the positive impact of the By Name List on our collective efforts to combat homelessness. As we reflect on the progress made over the past two years, we acknowledge the resilience of those we serve and express our gratitude to our dedicated partners and supporters who have contributed to the success of this initiative.
