Edmonton homeless population count set for Wednesday, history shows need for winter shelter space
last month. Out of this number, “roughly 1,200 are either unsheltered or staying in emergency shelters,” said Brent Wittmeier, a spokesperson for the city’s affordable housing unit.
“At this time, the city does not anticipate that either of these buildings will be available for temporary shelter spaces this year. There are some infrastructure challenges with the Spectrum building, and Commonwealth Stadium is only available for a limited time,” said Wittmeier. Staines, alongside her team, walks the streets of the downtown core supplying harm reduction supplies to drug users. Last year she saw winter encampments and people sleeping in doorways — the same as the summer scene. And people are still healing physical wounds brought on by frostbite and other extreme weather-related injuries, she said.
