A 2019 count found that at least 2,223 people in the city were experiencing homelessness, the highest number recorded since counts began in 2005. Of those surveyed, 28 percent reported having no physical shelter. Indigenous people accounted for 39 percent of all respondents. Three-fifths of respondents said at least two health concerns, and 67 percent said an addiction to at least one substance.<ref>{{cite web |title=Vancouver Homeless Count 2019 |publisher=City of Vancouver |date=2019 |url=https://vancouver.ca/files/cov/vancouver-homeless-count-2019-final-report.pdf |access-date=July 2, 2021 |archive-date=July 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210709182131/https://vancouver.ca/files/cov/vancouver-homeless-count-2019-final-report.pdf |url-status=live}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
