The Winnipeg Street Census 2022 marks the third fulsome attempt to gain a contextualized view of homelessness in Winnipeg. In order to end homelessness we need to understand it. The Street Census is not an attempt to count the total number of people experiencing homelessness but provides a snapshot of who is experiencing homelessness, some of the reasons for it and barriers to exiting it. Between May 24 and May 25, we surveyed or obtained data on over 1250 individuals experiencing homelessness. While this survey provides only an incomplete count of the total unsheltered population in Winnipeg, it offers important information about their experiences. It also points to potential solutions for ending homelessness. The information gathered can be used to improve decision-making for funders, governments, and community organizations.
