We had an incredible time at the Pride Parade! It was an honour to walk in support of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and to stand up for inclusion, safety, and housing for all.
What this change in data represents is a better understanding of homelessness in St. John's as EHSJ and our partners continue to work towards ending homelessness.
You will notice a significant jump between March and April, but this is largely due to the addition of new data sources, rather than a surge in homelessness.
We've updated our dashboard for the month of April 2025.

This presentation focused on the rapid growth of EHSJ over the past twelve months, in particular, managing creation and operation of Horizons at 106, a dedicated transitional housing initiative designed to serve up to 100 individuals in the community.
This week EHSJ Executive Director Doug Pawson and Senior Director of Community Investment Simone Lilly presented โNavigating Change: Balancing Risk, Growth, and Approaches to Housing Solutionsโ at the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association 2025 Congress in Saskatoon.
"There's not really any mention of homelessness programming and investments in any of the platforms," said Pawson.

But real progress takes more than local action. It takes federal leadership committed to housing as a human right.
In the Community Plan, we outline the ways all three levels of government must work together to end the housing crisis.
๐ณ๏ธ Itโs Election Day in Canada.
Here in St. Johnโs, weโre working every day to implement the St. John's Community Plan to End Homelessness โ a roadmap built on evidence, compassion, and with the voices of lived and living experience.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Federal Candidates Forum on Housing and Homelessness, co-hosted by Choices for Youth.
Your presence, questions, and engagement helped create an important dialogue on the urgent housing and homelessness challenges facing our communities.
