Homelessness in the Halifax Regional Municipality Point-in-Time Count in 2022.

Like many communities across Nova Scotia, Halifax is experiencing an affordable housing crisis which is affecting more individuals and families than it ever has in recent history. In comparison to previous HRM Point in Time Counts, there has been a significant increase of people who are not permanently or safely sheltered across the Municipality: 504 individuals without a safe, permanent, and fixed address plus 83 incarcerated at Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility (Burnside). This number keeps growing at a staggering rate. According to The Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia (AHANS) as of August 2, 2022, there were 643 people in the HRM who were actively homeless.
