Some Statistics On Homelessness In North Bay

Picture
The Centre for Research in Social Justice and Policy at Laurentian University recently conducted research on the topic of homelessness in North Bay.  In this study they identified 156 absolutely homeless people, and 357 people who are at risk of becoming homeless in North Bay.  This totals 513 different individuals who are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in North Bay, Ontario. (Kauppi, Pallard, & King, 2013).

Out of these 513 individuals, 51% of them are male and 49% are female (Kauppi, Pallard, & King, 2013).  The mean age for males is 41, while the mean age for females is 38 (Kauppi, Pallard, & King, 2013).  

The majority of the homeless population receives their income through social assistance programs.  However, the amount that they receive through social assistance is not enough to get them out of their state of poverty.  According to the Canadian Council on Social Development, individuals whose total income comes “from basic social assistance, additional benefits, Canada child tax benefits, provincial/territorial child benefits, the federal GST credit and provincial/territorial tax credits” all live beneath the poverty line (Canadian Council on Social Development, 2002).  The poverty line for single, employable individuals who live in Ontario is set at $18,849. Persons with disabilities have a median total income of $11,763 and persons without disabilities who receive their income through social assistance programs have a median total income of only $6,829.
