Homeless Shelter Use by Age and Community with Implications for the Cost of Maintaining City-Wide Systems of Emergency Shelters
La présente étude utilise des données administratives de Calgary et de Toronto pour relier trois résultats clés de la littérature sur l’utilisation des refuges pour sans-abri. Ces résultats sont utilisés aux fins d’estimation du coût du maintien d’un système de refuges pour sans-abri à l’échelle communautaire. Les trois résultats principaux (à savoir que les personnes en situation d’itinérance à un refuge vivent leur condition de manières très di…
How Do Youth Use Homeless Shelters
This paper uses a large administrative dataset providing 105,149 daily observations on 3,176 youth aged between 18 and 24 years using emergency homeless shelters from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2019, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Using k-mean cluster analysis we classify youth who use emergency homeless shelters by their intensity of shelter use. In Calgary, most youth use homeless shelters as a temporary and infrequent refuge when housing i…
Homeless Shelter Flows in Calgary and the Potential Impact of Covid-19
Social distancing and self-isolation are two of the key responses asked of citizens during a pandemic. For people without a home, this advice is rather more difficult to follow. In this article, we use daily data describing the movements of 36,855 unique individuals who used emergency homeless shelters in Calgary over the period 1 January 2014-31 December 2019. We show that the use of emergency shelters is characterized by large flows from and in…
Patterns and Intensity of Use of Homeless Shelters in Toronto
A large administrative data set allows us to examine shelter use by single adults, youth, and families in Toronto. We find important differences in shelter use by single adults, youth, and families. We introduce an approach that allows us to identify a noticeable increase in the percentage of shelter clients whom we define as chronic users of the shelter system—people for whom each episode of shelter use is typically very long. This should be a c…
The Accumulation of Public Debt in Canada
Pierre Fortin's analysis of the causes of the increase in Canada's debt-to-output ratio is reconsidered. We find that the analysis hinges upon a number of supplementary decisions, and that reasonable choices give rise to results strikingly different from those obtained by Fortin. We also extend Fortin's analysis to examine the causes of debt accumulation by level of government. This exercise shows that the causes of debt accumulation are very dif…
