Homeless numbers down slightly in region, significantly in Vancouver

May 24th, 2011 · 27 Comments

Still waiting the full numbers from Metro Vancouver, but in the meantime, I’m hearing that regional homeless count showed the number of homeless people was down by one per cent from 2008 to 2011 — an accomplishment considering the region adds 40,000 new people every year — and down six per cent in Vancouver. In addition, street homelessness in Vancouver down 65 per cent.

All that’s available officially so far is this news release from the province:
