The Know By-Name List helps us to identify every person sleeping rough (on streets, in parks, tents, cars or intermittently in motels) in Brisbane, their needs and the support services required.
What is a By-Name List?
Brisbane By-Name List is a comprehensive list of every person sleeping rough in our community, updated in real time. Using information collected and shared with their consent, we can understand their homeless history, health, and housing needs. This enables us to better match housing solutions and identify relevant supports, particularly for the most vulnerable. This data is updated monthly, at minimum.

To track our progress we need to understand how people in our community move in and out of homelessness.
Specifically, communities can look at six data points:
Inflow
When a person loses housing and enters into homelessness, they’re part of what we call inflow. Inflow data captures people who are:
- Newly identified, or new to homelessness.
- Returned from housing, or people who experienced homelessness before, got connected with housing, and now are homeless again.
- Returned from Inactive, or people who experienced homelessness before and exited to unknown destinations, and now are homeless again.
Actively homeless**
This includes the people that our collaborating agencies have engaged with, and we know by name rough sleeping outside on the streets, in parks, tents or cars and those sleeping rough inside - couch surfing or in motels.
Outflow
Outflow refers to people who have exited homelessness. This includes:
- Housed, or people who have been connected to permanent housing.
- Moved to inactive, or people who exit homelessness without support from the homeless response system, such as finding their own housing, moving out of the community, or entering a long-term stay in an institution.
