This interactive dashboard brings together data from the 2020 – 2025 Point-in-Time (PiT) Counts conducted across British Columbia. Developed by AHMA, this tool supports Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners in understanding trends in homelessness, identifying service gaps, and strengthening community-led responses.
This platform is part of AHMA’s commitment to Indigenous data sovereignty and evidence-based advocacy for safe, culturally supportive housing across the province. AHMA recognizes the ongoing and disproportionate impact of homelessness on Indigenous Peoples in B.C., which stems from a legacy of colonial policies, systemic inequities, and disconnection from land, culture, and community. This dashboard is a tool to support Indigenous-led, culturally safe approaches to addressing homelessness, and to ensure data is used in a way that respects Indigenous self-determination.
This dashboard includes information related to homelessness, health issues, trauma, substance use, and other sensitive topics. Please use your own discretion and take good care of yourself as you navigate this data.
How to use the Dashboard
The dashboard is fully interactive and designed for easy exploration:
Navigate tabs along the top to explore community-level data summaries by year and municipality, and Indigenous, non-Indigenous, or all respondents.
Arrows to switch pages: Each community has multiple pages of data – use the arrows at the bottom of your screen to scroll through. Note: The last page contains comparison data when available.
Hover over charts and maps to see detailed values and community-specific data.
Use filters and drop-down menus to refine your view by community, year, population group, or indicator.

PiT Counts capture a snapshot of homelessness on a single day and represent minimum estimates.
Some communities or categories may appear blank where data was unavailable.
For consistency in this dashboard, counts conducted in 2020 have been included under 2021, and counts conducted in 2024 have been included under 2025. AHMA encourages users to consult the original reports for full methodological context.
Variability in reporting exists between provincially funded counts and locally funded counts. AHMA has grouped similar questions under common categories to provide a more cohesive and streamlined view of the data.
In cases where different figures appeared within a single report, AHMA used the summary totals reported by each community.
Reporting methods vary between provincially and locally funded counts; AHMA has harmonized categories for clarity.
Data visualizations may not exactly match source tables and should be interpreted accordingly.
The map is illustrative and may not precisely reflect count boundaries or locations.
