Homelessness in Calgary Down for the First Time in 20 Years
by the Calgary Homeless Foundation
The Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF) is pleased to report the 2012 homeless count shows an 11.4 per cent decrease in the number of people experiencing homelessness since 2008. If the historical trend since 1992 had continued, Calgary would have as many as 4,200 people homeless in 2012. Instead, the 2012 homeless count enumerated 3,190 people experiencing homelessness, compared with 3,601 people in 2008.

"These results show the 10 Year Plan is working," said Tim Richter, President and CEO, CHF. "The hard work of front-line agencies, as well as government and donor support has turned the tide of homelessness in Calgary."

Reducing homelessness is an indisputable social good, and housing subsidies offer one way to do so. However, subsidies come in many different varieties and are intricately bound up with economic and social policies.

This report reveals how racialized people are being pushed into protracted conditions of precarious and 'temp' jobs, and how existing employment training services and job search supports often prove ineffective.
