BC is going to be conducting a type of report that has never been done before on homelessness to get better information on how they should tailor their provincial programs and services to help people dealing with homelessness.
This report is expected to determine the exact amount of people who dealt with homelessness in BC over the past year by using anonymized provincial data from 2019 to find a reliable number of homeless, where they were staying and how long they’ve been without a home.
Before, homelessness numbers could only be calculated at one particular moment in time.
This new report will be done yearly to get more in depth info on trends so that this problem can be dealt with in the most effective way possible.
BC is also planning on releasing their 2020-21 Report on Homeless Counts in the province sometime soon.
