The Homeless Services Association of B.C. says 11 municipalities across the Lower Mainland are taking part in the 24\u002Dhour, point\u002Din\u002Dtime count, which began…
That count was completed less than a week before the pandemic was declared and it identified 3,634 people who were experiencing homelessness.
“We know that Indigenous people are under-represented in homeless counts, but we also know that we are 13 times more likely to experience homelessness compared to our numbers in the general population,” Wells said in a statement. “The counts provide communities and all levels of government with information they can rely on to make informed, compassionate, and swift decisions that support pathways out of homelessness,” said the association.
