Indigenous Victim Services, in partnership with Hastings County and Aboriginal Labour Force Development, is hosting a culturally safe space for those experiencing homelessness in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory to participate in a "PiT Survey on Homelessness". The survey collects information on the experiences of people affected by homelessness to help community organizations and all orders of government better understand and serve individuals experiencing homelessness in Canada.
A Point-in-Time (PiT) Count is a strategy to help determine the extent of homelessness in a community on a given night, or at a single point in time. A PiT Count allows a community to better understand the nature and extent of homelessness and the characteristics of the homeless population. Such counts support better planning, and when done on more than one occasion, allow communities to assess their progress in reducing homelessness.
Please note that resources and applications for housing will be on site as well.
