Background: Reaching Home: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy (formerly The Homelessness Partnering Strategy) provided support to over 60 communities across Canada to conduct a coordinated Point-in-Time (PiT) Count of the homeless population in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, only 5 of the Federally funded communities were able to complete a PiT Count. Kelowna was one of the few communities that was able to complete a PiT Count in 2020. This is because Kelowna’s count was scheduled on March 10th, 2020, which was early during the official PiT Count period of Mar 1 – Apr. 30. A Federal report will be published in 2021 with data from counts that took place in participating communities across 2020 and 2021. The count provides vital information to participating communities about their homeless population and contributes to the understanding of homelessness in Canada. A PiT Count aims to provide a snapshot of homelessness in a community by enumerating individuals who are, at a given time, staying in shelters or unsheltered locations (e.g. on the street, in parks). PiT Counts include a survey that provides communities with information on the characteristics of their homeless population (e.g. age, gender, veteran status, Indigenous identity). The 2020 PiT Count was the third Federally coordinated count, with previous counts taking place in 2016 and 2018. The 2020 PiT Count can be used to evaluate progress in reducing homelessness, tracking demographic changes and monitoring evolving service needs in the community.
