West Coast Trail: Hike of a lifetime - Parks Canada

Too many Canadians continue to be homeless, often because of several contributing factors. A Statistics Canada study released last year estimated that, in 2022, about one in eight households (12.1%) reported experiencing some form of previous homelessness in their lifetime. That rate was more than double the proportion among Indigenous households (27.4%). Forms of homelessness include hidden (those without a permanent address and/or staying temporarily with others), which was the most common form, and visible (unsheltered in public spaces not meant for habitation or emergency sheltered). Using Canadian Housing Survey (CHS) data, the study examined factors contributing to regaining and maintaining housing. The study found that, in 2022, almost half of people cited more than one factor that helped them regain and maintain housing, following their most recent sheltered or unsheltered (including streets, alleys, parks and other public places) homelessness experience. Nearly one-quarter cited three or more factors, highlighting the complexity of homelessness. Financial factors were cited most often, especially income from employment.
