Point-in-Time (PiT) Counts provide a one-day snapshot of homelessness in a community, including people experiencing homelessness in shelters, unsheltered locations, and transitional housing. They can also include people experiencing homelessness who are in health or correctional facilities or who are staying with others because they have no access to a permanent residence.

The first and second nationally Coordinated Point-in-Time Counts were held in 2016 and 2018. The findings from these counts can be found in the following linked reports:

• Everyone Counts 2018: Highlights

Between March 2020 and December 2022, 66 communities participated in Everyone Counts, the third nationally coordinated Point-in-Time (PiT) Count of homelessness in Canadian communities. This report presents preliminary findings from the enumeration and surveys conducted in nearly 90% of the participating communities. The results are expected to be updated as more data are made available.
