Red Deer to conduct new homeless count Thursday as numbers rise
The City of Red Deer is conducting another ‘Point in Time’ (PiT) homeless count this Thursday (Oct. 10).
The city says the count will take place in the evening and will be the sixth done since 2012.
Coordination for such a count comes from all levels of government as well as with local community partners. Provincially, the ‘7 Cities on Housing and Homelessness’ (7 Cities) is also a key player.
“In the last PiT Count in 2022, local agency and outreach staff played a key role in the PiT Count, and we saw great success,” said Jodi Kelloway, Acting Superintendent, Social Wellness & Integration Supports.
