#streetcensus
The 2020 Winnipeg Street Census has been postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19.
The Winnipeg Street Census is our city’s Point-in-Time Count: a method used to gather data on homelessness, used in communities across Canada. Every few years, communities around the country participate in similar Point-in-Time Counts. Information is gathered during a single, 24-hour period in two main ways:
- A brief survey conducted face-to-face along walking routes and in designated locations by volunteers
- Data provided by community organizations and government agencies
The Winnipeg Street Census survey questions reflect national standards and input from local residents: people who have experienced homelessness, researchers, outreach workers, service providers and public servants.
The Street Census takes a one-day snapshot of homelessness. This contributes to a national picture and advances local knowledge of homelessness. It helps to identify service needs so that policies and programs can be more effective at preventing and ending homelessness.
The first Winnipeg Street Census took place in 2015. The second occurred in 2018.
