Measuring homelessness across Prince Edward Island to better understand community needs and guide future solutions.
A Point in Time (PiT) Count provides a snapshot of homelessness in a community during a single 24-hour period. It captures information on individuals experiencing sheltered, unsheltered, and hidden homelessness to better understand the scope and nature of homelessness across Prince Edward Island.
By combining a community-wide count with a standardized survey, PiT Counts help organizations and governments make informed decisions about housing, support services, and future planning.
Estimate the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night.
Collect information about experiences, needs, and pathways into homelessness.
Identify trends, service gaps, and populations requiring additional support.
Use findings to improve housing strategies, funding decisions, and community planning.
Access additional information, tools, and resources related to Coordinated Access.
The next Point in Time Count is scheduled for Fall 2026, providing an updated snapshot of homelessness across Prince Edward Island.
The PiT Count will take place across all three geographic regions of Prince Edward Island, ensuring island-wide representation and data collection.
Explore reports, findings, and resources that help communities better understand and respond to homelessness across PEI.
