GREATER VICTORIA’S FOURTH POINT IN TIME (PiT) Count and Homeless Needs Survey took place on March 7 and 8, 2023. PiT Counts are intended to provide a community-based measure, or snapshot, of individuals experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness at a single point in time. The initiative is funded through the Reaching Home Program: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy and contributes to a national picture of homelessness. The 2023 PiT Count and Homeless Needs Survey was completed with the support of 138 community volunteers, in conjunction with local housing facilities and service providers. The PiT Count took place within the Victoria Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), commonly referred to as Greater Victoria, which contains 13 municipalities and spans the traditional territories of approximately 11 First Nations.
