Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

We’re preparing for Winnipeg’s November 2026 Point-in-Time Count. This year’s Count will focus on enumeration, providing an estimate of how many people are experiencing homelessness in our city on a single night.

By counting people staying in emergency shelters and living unsheltered, we can better understand the scale of housing need in Winnipeg and help inform community planning.

Our relatives’ humanity and dignity remain at the centre of our shared work to prevent and end homelessness.

Girls have a right to safety, belonging and the freedom to shape their own futures. đź’ś

On International Day of the Girl Child, we recognize those human rights and the work needed to make them a reality.

To mark the day, a young mother and member of End Homelessness Winnipeg’s Duty to Assist Youth Council shares her hopes for her daughter, Indigenous girls and all young women. Her words remind us that every girl deserves to know her voice matters and to have opportunities to thrive.

Safe, stable housing is part of that foundation. It gives girls space to learn, grow and pursue their goals. Preventing youth homelessness means ensuring girls can access safe housing and support when they need it, and listening to their experiences to shape those supports.

đź’ś Thank you for sharing your hopes for the next generation and bringing your voice and lived experience to this work.

On World Homeless Day, we are called to reflect on how we understand being houseless and how we respond to the people experiencing it.

In this video, Ivy challenges us to rethink how we see people who are houseless and what it means to truly care. Her words remind us that our response should begin with recognizing the humanity in one another. đź’›

Being houseless is not a personal failure. It is connected to rising costs, poverty, health challenges, colonialism and gaps within the systems meant to support people.

At End Homelessness Winnipeg, we believe ensuring everyone has a safe place to call home is a shared responsibility. It requires governments, organizations, communities and individuals to challenge stigma, listen to people with lived experience and work collectively toward lasting solutions. Let’s work towards more deeply affordable homes, more support for those leaving CFS, Justice and other systems, and more Indigenous-led solutions!

As Ivy reminds us, this responsibility belongs to all of us.

Imagine if governments had a legal responsibility to help prevent youth homelessness before a young person falls through the cracks.

"What would Duty to Assist have meant to you?"

For the youth in this video, the answers were simple: being heard, being connected to support sooner, and having someone help them navigate challenges they were never meant to face alone.

Duty to Assist is a proposed legal responsibility that would require government departments to make reasonable efforts to prevent and end youth homelessness. It goes beyond providing a referral. It calls for coordinated support, case management, and access to services that help young people find and maintain stable housing.

Youth homelessness does not happen because young people lack potential. Too often, it happens because the systems meant to support them are not equipped or required to respond in a coordinated way.

A Duty to Assist would help ensure that when a young person is at risk of homelessness, someone is responsible for helping them access the support they need, whether that involves housing, mental health services, education, income supports, child welfare, or other resources.

đź’› A huge shoutout and thank you to the youth in this video for sharing their experiences and perspectives. Watch to hear directly from them about what Duty to Assist could have meant in their lives.

Work in Winnipeg’s housing and homelessness sector? Help shape future training opportunities! 💬

End Homelessness Winnipeg has launched a Sector-Wide Workforce & Needs Assessment, guided by input from the 18-member Community Training Committee. Its members bring perspectives from Indigenous organizations, a Knowledge Keeper, Lived Experience Experts, sector leadership and direct service workers, among others.

Starting with the Sector-Wide Workforce Survey, we’re inviting staff across the sector, in all roles and at all levels, to share their experiences, learning priorities and workforce challenges to help inform future training investments, strengthening the support we provide to our relatives experiencing homelessness and housing instability.

âś… One original government-issued photo ID with your name and current address.
âś… Two original pieces of accepted ID, both with your name and at least one with your current address.

Don’t have photo ID? Documents such as a Status Card, Métis card, Manitoba Health Card, bank statement, utility bill or residential lease may be used as part of the two-piece ID option.

Everyone leaving hospital deserves a safe place to go and the support they need to continue healing. đź’›

We welcome the Manitoba government’s investment in community-based care to help people who no longer need hospital-level treatment transition safely into settings that meet their needs.

$3M in new supports at N’Dinawemak, Siloam Mission, Ten Ten Sinclair Housing, 1400 Notre Dame and Deer Lodge Centre, along with mobile supports for people returning home, will help strengthen pathways from hospital to community.

The 2024 Winnipeg Street Census found that 54% of respondents experiencing homelessness had visited an emergency room within the previous year, and 49% had been admitted to hospital. These findings underscore the need for safe places to recover and ongoing support after hospital care.

As highlighted in our Hospital to No Fixed Address report, no one should be discharged from hospital into homelessness. Investments that connect health, housing and community supports are critical to improving patient outcomes and preventing housing instability.

Having a say in your community shouldn’t come down to whether one particular day or location works for you. 📅📍

There are plenty of reasons getting to the polls on Election Day might be difficult. Having more opportunities to vote, at locations across Winnipeg, can help make participation possible for more people.

Advance voting runs from October 5–23, with locations available across the city. During advance voting, you can vote at any advance voting location, giving you more flexibility to find a time and place that works for you.

More flexibility can make a difference, especially when time, transportation or other barriers make getting to the polls more difficult.
