Citygate Network conducts an annual Snapshot Survey during the first quarter of each year. This single day, point-in-time survey compiles data from thousands of individuals utilizing emergency shelter, supportive services, or addiction recovery programs from our member missions and ministries. These statistics have been tracked from 2018-2023 and are available for review here.
The data collected through the Snapshot Survey provides local and national media with a demographic snapshot of homelessness and poverty in communities across North America. Keep in mind, the information on this document is from a portion of our membership and represents a single day's report. The final number of people cared for by Citygate Network members is exponentially larger when multiplied by 365 days and our full membership.
Understanding, measuring, knowing the activities of Citygate Network members on a national scale is of upmost importance. That is why this year we are encouraging all members to participate in this important report. For those interested in participating, please visit the 2025 Snapshot Survey page between January 28 - February 21, 2025, to take the count, and report your results by February 21, 2025.
