Profile of Homelessness in Nunavut

A Profile of Homelessness in Nunavut makes an important contribution to unraveling some of this complexity. It builds on the work of earlier studies (such as those conducted by Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., the Nunavut Bureau of Statistics, the Nunavut Housing Corporation, Tester et al., Elliot et al. and Webster—see references in the bibliography section of this document). At the same time, a unique contribution of A Profile of Homelessness in Nunavut is its effort to carry out a point-in-time count in Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay of the population that can be considered to be absolutely homeless (i.e., either living rough or being sheltered in an emergency facility of some kind).
