Thanks to everyone who supported the Point in Time Homeless Count on Friday! We connected with a lot of people and heard a lot of stories.
Some of the folks who stopped by are not currently homeless but have recently been, or are facing homelessness. They didn’t take the survey bud did share their personal experiences with us. It was an honour to hear these stories and a powerful reminder that numbers and demographics don’t show the whole picture and that behind each stat is a very human experience.
We also connected with a number of people who filled the survey out in 2023. There was palpable frustration about how not much has changed in terms of housing resources or action in the community over the past two years, especially as we face the looming shelter closure.
HSABC will report out on results from the count and others throughout the province this fall. We will share it out once available.
Thanks again to all!
