Table note 1

Facilities are defined by their mandated expected length of stay, regardless of practice. Short-term facilities include facilities with an expected length of stay of less than three months, which typically provide individual beds to residents, as opposed to separate apartments or units. Long-term facilities include facilities with an expected length of stay of three months or longer, which typically provide residential units (e.g. apartments) to residents.

Table note 2

Beds refers only to the number of funded beds, including children's beds and cribs if applicable, regardless of source of funding. Excludes unfunded beds, which may include emergency beds such as cots, sofas or sleeping bags.

Table note 3

An admission refers to the official acceptance of a resident into the facility with the allocation of a bed, child's bed, crib, bedroom or bedroom unit, or apartment. The total number of admissions is based on all admissions for a 12-month reference period and includes those who may have been admitted more than once. Each shelter visit is counted as a separate admission. For example, the same person being admitted to a facility three times in a year would count as three admissions.

Table note 4

Units refers to the number of apartments or houses available. An individual unit may house multiple people and is typical of long-term facilities.
