Where We Are
Housing First - the rest will followHousing First - the rest will follow short film that chronicles one Fredericton' woman's journey through chronic illness, social isolation and homeless to a new beginning with Housing First.

Fredericton Homeless Count 2016
Over a 24-hour period from February 21 - 22, Fredericton conducted its first Point-in-Time Count and Vulnerability Index assessment of homeless individuals in our community. More than 40 volunteers and 10 partner agencies participated in the Count. Volunteers took to the streets, shelters and homeless serving agencies to administer two distinct voluntary surveys to people experiencing homelessness (including those in our shelters, sleeping outdoors, couch surfing and in provisional housing).
The surveys were designed to serve two distinct roles: 1) identify a minimum number of people that were experiencing homelessness over a 24-hour period in order to provide our community with valuable baseline data to help track progress and change over time; 2) create actionable data on health and housing needs of individuals experiencing homelessness in order to improve coordination and access to resources for our community’s most vulnerable. Initial findings from the Count show that a minimum of 50 people experienced homelessness on the night of February 21st in Fredericton in our shelters, on our streets and in transitional shelters. Broader demographics, service need and wellness information were collected from 71 individuals experiencing chronic and episodic homelessness: this data is critical in informing improved coordination of services and resources. This Count is an important step in our efforts to move from managing homelessness to ending homelessness in Fredericton. Info gathered from these surveys will be helpful in understanding the big picture of need so that we can plan and prioritize resources and educate the broader community. This Count also launches Fredericton’s engagement in the 20,000 Homes Campaign, a national movement to provide housing and supports for those impacted by sustained, enduring homelessness.
