At the Lakehead Social Planning Council (LSPC), we conduct the 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁-𝗶𝗻-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 (𝗣𝗶𝗧) 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 annually in conjunction with the Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre to better understand homelessness in Thunder Bay. This data is more than just numbers. Reliable local data helps us understand what is happening in our community, identify gaps, and work together toward long-term solutions to prevent and reduce homelessness.

Together, we can support our neighbours who are experiencing homelessness and help build a stronger Thunder Bay.
