Homelessness data snapshot : the National Shelter Study 2024 update.T94-60/1-2025E-PDF

"The National Shelter Study is an ongoing analysis of trends in homeless shelter use in Canada. The present report provides an update on trends in 2024. This analysis covers the period from 2005 to 2024 and uses data collected from: the Homeless Individuals and Families Information System (HIFIS), and provincial and municipal partners that have data-sharing agreements with the Government of Canada. Approximately 50% of emergency shelters in Canada were included in this analysis, representing about 70% of available emergency shelter beds. The methodology takes into account people who use more than one shelter to ensure that individuals are only counted once. Domestic violence shelters, immigrant and refugee shelters, and transitional housing are not included due to insufficient data coverage"--Introduction, page [1].
