Point in Time Homeless Count

The Point-in-Time (PiT) Homeless Count & Survey is a coordinated event where persons experiencing homelessness are counted and asked a number of questions to get a snapshot in time of those experiencing homelessness in the community.

The City of Red Deer in collaboration with community partners will conduct the 2026 PiT Count on October 8, 2026. The 2026 PiT Count will be enumeration (count) only, 2027 will include enumeration & survey.

The PiT Count is funded by the Government of Canada’s Reaching Home: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy.
