On October 16, 2014, The City of Red Deer and community partners conducted Red Deer’s second Point in Time Homeless Count, and the first Alberta-wide coordinated count.
A total of 137 people were enumerated on the night of the count. Of those counted 67% were in emergency shelter and 9% were in a short-term housing facility. A further 16% (22) were enumerated during the street count and confirmed they were sleeping rough (in parks, on the street, etc.). A further 8% were sheltered in a public system (Hospital, Alberta Works).
