Thompson Point-in-Time Count 2016 Report

This project was funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS). The City of Thompson is the Community Entity (CE) designated by the Homeless Partnering Strategy (HPS) to report annually on the amount received. The 2014-2019 Community Plan of the Thompson Community Advisory Board (CAB) included the completion of Point in Time (PiT) Homeless Count in 2015 and 2016 (Thompson Community Advisory Board for Homelessness, 2014).

In 2016 the Government of Canada's HPS supported coordinated community homeless counts in communities across Canada using the PiT Count methodology. These counts will provide vital information to participating communities about their homeless population, and contribute to the understanding of homelessness in Canada.

This 2016 PiT count was conducted in collaboration with faculty members, staff and students, of the University of Manitoba, Northern Social Work Program and the University College of the North (UCN), Faculty of Arts, Business and Science, as well as the homeless, partners of this initiative and staff from other agencies & community members.
