Homelessness Working Group
The Homelessness Working Group is to be established at a later date.
Point-in-Time (PiT) Homeless Count
A Point in Time (PiT) Count is a strategy used to determine the extent of homelessness in a community at any given night, or at a single point in time. Through the use of survey and enumeration, communities can get a better understanding of the complexities behind homelessness.
The City of Lloydminster conducted a PiT Count on October 23, 2024, and during this night, there were approximately 246 individuals experiencing homelessness.
Key findings from the survey report:
- 91% of surveyed participants expressed a desire to transition into permanent housing.
- The primary barriers to securing housing are tied to the cost of living, with 46% of participants citing low income and 42% reporting high rent as significant challenges.
- Additionally, 69% of surveyed participants had lived in Lloydminster for one year or more prior to the PiT Count.
The next PiT Count will take place on October 23, 2026. For more information, please contact FCSS.
