Results of the Point in Time Count (PiT) of Homeless People

The Federal Government supported this first homeless count coordinated amongst communities across Canada in 2016. Designated communities of the Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) were encouraged to participate in the count. When communities conduct counts at the same time of year using a common approach, the results can be used to build a better understanding of homelessness across communities in Canada. Brantford/Brant was one of over 30 communities across Canada to undertake a PiT Count.

The City of Brantford is the Community Entity for the HPS homelessness programs and funding. The City works closely in this role with the Community Advisory Board (CAB) on Homelessness Issues. Brant Native Housing is Community Entity for HPS Indigenous homelessness programs. Brant Native Housing also works closely with their advisory board, Brant Aboriginal Homelessness Alliance (BAHA). The Count was a joint initiative of CAB and BAHA.
