The most recent homeless count in Brandon, Manitoba, released in 2026, indicated a decline in the number of people experiencing homelessness.
Homelessness advocates, however, warned that the count provides only a brief snapshot and likely underestimates the total unsheltered population because it may not capture everyone living without shelter.
Brandon, the largest city in southwestern Manitoba, conducts periodic counts to assess the scale of homelessness, but advocates emphasize the limitations of this approach.
