Facts About Homelessness

HOMELESSNESS

-At least 200,000 Canadians experience homelessness in any given year.

-At least 150,000 Canadians a year use a homeless shelter at some point.

-At least 30,000 Canadians are homeless on any given night.

-At least 50,000 Canadians are part of the "hidden homeless" on any given night — staying with friends or relatives on a temporary basis as they have nowhere else to go.

Child Poverty

CHILD POVERTY

- Nearly 1.2 million Canadian children younger than 18 (17.0%) lived in a low‑income household in 2015

- Children whose family shared a dwelling with others were less likely to be in low income, especially children in lone parent families.

-Alberta, with a high employment and median income, suprisingly has the highest rate of children living in low income housing.

-Among large urban centres, Windsor, Ontario, had the highest rate of children living in low income households.

Child Hunger

CHILD HUNGER

Thirteen percent of Canadians struggle with or have no food, which means they do not have access to adequate amounts of safe, good-quality, nutritious food. The root cause of hunger in Canada is low income, which consistently affects more than four million of us at any given time.

Food banks are important to addressing this need. Each month, over 850,000 people turn to food banks for help; more than one-third are children and youth.
