Yellowknife will count its homeless population next year with funding from the federal government, according to Coun. Linda Bussey. The city's community advisory board on homelessness opted at a meeting to hold what's called a point-in-time count. The methodology of the count will be determined later. The federal government offered $32,000 for the project. A similar count in 2015 found 139 homeless people, though the count was criticized for potentially under-counting people.
