Red Deer Point in Time (PIT) Homeless Count 2012

On October 16, 2012, the City of Red Deer and The Red Deer & District Community Foundation (RDDCF) engaged OrgCode Consulting, Inc. to conduct Red Deer’s first Point in Time (PIT) Homeless Count.

A total of 279 people were found to be homeless on October 16th, 2012. As is the case with any homeless count, this should be considered a minimum number of persons experiencing homelessness on that night. O

Of the 279 people, 95 or 34% were sheltered, meaning that they slept in an emergency shelter, safe house, detox centre, or remand centre on the night of the count. 184 or 66% were unsheltered, meaning that they were encountered in parks, on the streets or sidewalks, at drop-in centres, or participating in meal programs during the evening of October 16.
