Dufferin 2021 Point-inTime Count

The Point-in-Time (PiT) Homelessness Count is a coordinated event where persons experiencing homelessness are counted and asked a variety of questions to get a snapshot in time to illustrate homelessness in the community. This report provides background information, covers the count methodology, and shares the overall findings as well as findings from specific sub-populations. It also includes a discussion section and next steps/points around moving forward. SUMMARY & KEY FINDINGS 02 KEY FINDINGS Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Public Health guidelines, the 2020 PiT Count was postponed to take place in 2021. The 2021 PiT Count proceeded differently than it has in previous years.¹ Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the Dufferin County 2021 Point-in-Time Count accurately includes an enumeration of individuals experiencing homelessness. The count was conducted by volunteers/staff from the homeless-serving system over a two day period, on April 21 & 22, 2021, throughout the County of Dufferin.
