eligible Veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the Metro Vancouver area with financial assistance through rent supplements, as well as access to wrap-around services and counselling support. This program includes resources to help Veterans with
disabilities to access care and live independently in their communities. Additionally, the program offers temporary housing for Veterans travelling to Metro Vancouver for essential medical or rehabilitation services, ensuring they can access the care necessary
for their health and recovery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

(VHP) the federal government is partnering with organizations across the country to provide rent supplements and wrap-around services, including mental health support, to Veterans. Additionally, the VHP will support research on Veteran homelessness and help

and the VHP and community service providers will help do that for Veterans who have served our country courageously and selflessly. The VHP supports Veterans experiencing or at imminent risk of homelessness in securing and maintaining housing and addressing
underlying issues. While some clients may need ongoing access to rent supplements and wrap-around services, with the right supports, it is expected that many will transition to independent living over time.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk183683454">We are in the final days of Everyone Counts 2024, the fourth nationally-coordinated Point-in-Time Counts in Canada. November marks the second and final month for communities to conduct their fall
counts. Communities have shared positive and constructive feedback about their experiences and are looking forward to using the results to be able to speak to questions, concerns and myths about homelessness in their communities.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk183683454">Through the PiT Count, communities gain local level data that will help them better understand who is affected by homelessness and their experiences. At the national level, data highlight areas of
increased need, such as the growth in unsheltered homelessness seen in the previous counts that took place over 2020-22. Community PiT Count data provides a critical piece of the evidence that is used to inform policy and program development.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk183683454">Communities participating in the counts this fall share their data with HICC within 60 days after their count. These data help to build a more comprehensive
understanding of homelessness in Canada and how it is changing over time. A summary of findings from Everyone Counts 2024 is expected in early 2025.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

non lucratif au service des personnes handicapées, est aujourd'hui fière de servir des milliers de personnes dans toute la province, y compris des personnes âgées et des familles. L'organisation travaille d’arrache-pied pour développer de nouveaux logements
dans toute la Colombie-Britannique, avec des prix de location abordables dans des quartiers accessibles.

suppléments au loyer, ainsi que d’un accès à des services intégrés et à des services de counseling. Ce programme comprend des ressources pour aider les vétérans handicapés à accéder à des soins et à vivre de façon autonome dans leur communauté. De plus, le
programme offre un logement temporaire aux vétérans qui se rendent dans la région métropolitaine de Vancouver pour obtenir des services médicaux ou de réadaptation essentiels. Cela leur permet d’avoir accès aux soins nécessaires à leur santé et à leur rétablissement.

(PLIV), le gouvernement fédéral s’associe à des organismes de partout au pays pour offrir des suppléments au loyer et un soutien en matière de santé mentale aux vétérans. De plus, le PLIV appuiera la recherche sur l’itinérance chez les vétérans et aidera les

lutter contre l’itinérance chez les vétérans qui ont servi notre pays avec courage et altruisme. Le PLIV aidera les vétérans en situation d’itinérance ou à risque imminent de le devenir à trouver et à conserver un logement et à traiter les problèmes sous-jacents.
Bien que certains clients puissent avoir besoin d’un accès continu à des suppléments au loyer et à des services intégrés, avec les bons soutiens, on s’attend à ce que bon nombre d’entre eux deviennent autonomes au fil du temps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Nous sommes dans les derniers jours de la campagne Tout le monde compte 2024, le quatrième dénombrement ponctuel coordonné à l’échelle pancanadienne. Le mois de novembre est le deuxième et dernier mois au cours duquel
les communautés peuvent effectuer leurs dénombrements d'automne. Les communautés ont fait part de commentaires positifs et constructifs sur leurs expériences et sont impatientes d'utiliser les résultats pour pouvoir répondre aux questions, aux préoccupations
et aux mythes concernant l’itinérance dans les communautés. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Grâce au dénombrement ponctuel, les communautés obtiennent des données à l’échelle locale qui les aideront à mieux comprendre les personnes touchées par l’itinérance, ainsi que leurs expériences. À l’échelle pancanadienne,
les données mettent en évidence des domaines où les besoins augmentent, tels que l'augmentation de l’itinérance hors refuge observée lors des précédents dénombrements qui ont eu lieu de 2020 à 2022. Les données du dénombrement ponctuel dans les communautés
constituent un élément essentiel des preuves utilisées pour orienter l'élaboration des politiques et des programmes.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span lang="FR-CA">Les communautés qui participent aux dénombrements cet automne partagent leurs données avec LICC dans les 60 jours suivant les dénombrements. Ces données permettent de mieux
comprendre l’itinérance au Canada et son évolution dans le temps. Une synthèse des résultats de la campagne Tout le monde compte 2024 est attendue pour le début de 2025.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
