Point in Time Count
Point in Time Count
There are many reasons and causes leading to homelessness, with each person having their own unique story.
In 2023, the Fraser Valley Regional District conducted a survey. In the context of this survey, homeless persons were defined as persons with no fixed address, with no regular and/or adequate nighttime residence where they can expect to stay for more than 30 days.
In this survey, 413 people in Chilliwack were found to be homeless, for one or more of the following reasons:
· 31% due to inadequate income and/or lack of suitable, affordable rental units
· 63% due to substance use
· 30% due to family breakdown/abuse/ conflict
· 35% due to health/disability
A Federal Point in Time Count will take place in 2024. Information regarding this count will be forthcoming.
