The official count will help agencies get a ‘true picture of the homeless population in Sault Ste. Marie,’ says Louie Bruni, DSSAB chief operating officer

Local service agencies will take to the streets on Tuesday to take an official count of the number of people living with homelessness in the community.

The 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) count is part of a national effort to measure homelessness across the country. The last time a PIT count was done in Sault Ste. Marie was in 2021.

The count will be conducted by Social Services (DSSAB) staff in collaboration with the local Homelessness Prevention Team. The PIT count is not done yearly; previous counts were done in 2021, 2020, 2018 and 2016.
