The Health and Homelessness survey was conducted between January 13 and January 23, 2009 with the assistance of many community volunteers. Community Action on Homelessness interviewed 158 homeless people in 6 shelters and 4 other locations throughout downtown Halifax about their lives, their health and their access to health care. For the purposes of this survey, homelessness was defined as: having stayed at a shelter; outdoors or in a public space; or with a friend or relative; for 10 or more days in the 90 days prior to being surveyed.
