Today, United Way Peterborough & District released the final report from the 2024 Point-in-Time Count of people experiencing homelessness in our community.
We were joined this morning by local media, elected officials, and some of our funded partners and surveyors at our Stewart Street office to discuss the findings and what they mean for our community.
This community-wide effort, carried out with the help of surveyors with lived experience, shelter staff and outreach workers, provides a critical snap shot of homelessness in our city.
“Homelessness is a complex, nuanced issue,” shared Nancy Fischer, Chair of United Way Peterborough & District’s Community Impact Committee. “One which requires a focus on evidence-based program development.”

As a national charity deeply connected to our local communities, we are committed to the principles of Truth and Reconciliation. On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to reflect on the history and enduring impact of residential schools on Indigenous peoples.

Let us listen to their stories, honour their resilience, and dedicate ourselves to fostering healing and reconciliation. #EveryChildMatters #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay

Spot the difference 👀➡️ sometimes even our numbers get a little too excited at Campaign Launch! A misplaced comma gave us a laugh this morning, but make no mistake - our really goal is no joke.
