0 true zero or a value rounded to zero X suppressed to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act Note 1 Facilities are defined by their mandated expected length of stay, regardless of practice. Short-term facilities include facilities whose expected length of stay is less than three months, and typically provide individual beds to residents, as opposed to separate apartments or units. Long-term facilities include facilities whose expected length of stay is three months or longer, and typically provide residential units (e.g. apartments) to residents. Return to note 1 referrer 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. Return to note 2 referrer 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. Return to note 3 referrer Note 4 Units refers to the number of apartments or houses available. An individual unit may house multiple people and are typical of long-term facilities. Return to note 4 referrer Note: Northwest Territories and Nunavut did not report having any long-term facilities.
