Abstract: This report contains statistics on the use of women’s shelters in the province between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. The statistics show that there is an increasing demand on Albertan women’s shelters because of the lack of accessible support for abused women and their children. Between April 2012 and March 2013, the number of women admitted to women’s shelters in the province decreased by approximately 200. However, the number of women that were turned away from shelters during that period is substantially higher than it was during the previous year.

Place of Publication:Calgary
Date of Publication:2012
Abstract:On January 18, 2012, the CHF in partnership with several organizations conducted the first PIT Count since 2008. Data was collected from service providers and a comprehensive street enumeration was undertaken to capture as accurate a number as possible. Approximately 160 volunteers canvassed 28 street ‘zones’ or known areas for rough sleepers (those sleeping outside). Mobile teams in vehicles led by Calgary Police Services, City of Calgary Animal and Bylaw Services and street outreach workers covered seven remote city areas while public and private sector partners added six additional areas including Fish Creek Park. Eighty organizations provided data and basic demographics in conjunction with the street count. This report documents their findings. [Taken from report]
