Point-in-time counts undercount by design. They find people in shelters, in known outdoor locations, and in some institutions on one night; they miss people couch-surfing, doubled up, or staying out of sight. Count dates differ by region, so the totals are not a single national snapshot.
A separate count in October 2025 found 1,446 people outdoors including encampments. That is a separate exercise from the 2024 assessment.

Purpose-built rental only: no condos, no basement apartments, no rooms. The Toronto CMA figure spans Peel, York, Halton and part of Durham, so it is not a Toronto number and not a suburb number either. Several county rows are proxied from the dominant urban centre and carry a quality flag.
The claim ledger records $359 per person-night for one warming-centre model and $50 per resident-night for supportive housing. Different scopes, capital, staffing, and time bases mean the ratio cannot tell us how many homes a reallocation would fund.
