Advocates say voices will go unheard after Saskatoon cancels in-person homeless count

Saskatoon has officially canceled its in-person homeless count for the current year. The decision to move forward without a physical census of the city's unsheltered population has been met with criticism from community advocates.

Advocates argue that the absence of an in-person count will result in the voices of vulnerable individuals going unheard. There is specific concern that this change in methodology will hinder efforts to connect homeless residents with necessary social and support services.
