The purpose of this study was to gather up-to-date information about various subgroups within the homeless population in Sudbury. The City of Greater Sudbury (CGS) required a point-in-time count (PIT) of homeless persons — including a count of chronically and episodically homeless people — in order to obtain information about their socio-demographic/linguistic characteristics as well as to identify the number of veterans/people with military service.
The period prevalence count was conducted at agencies or services located in the city centre or the Donovan area from January 28 to February 3, 2015.
