Supporting Data

Community First has collected several sources of data, research findings and reports to help community members understand our housing situation.
 
As part of our research funding by CLARI, Catherine Leviten-Ried from Cape Breton University prepared demographic and economic data narratives, that were later used to create a series of infographics for the Municipality of the district of Guysborough, Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s and the Town of Mulgrave.
The following infographic represents the summary of data about homelessness collected during a specific period of time (Nov 2024).
 
The data sets for Guysborough were quite small in the first, but we are able to identify some characteristics that better describe the needs of citizens.
 
The following infographic illustrates some of the concerns. For more information contact: Andrea Donovan, NS Mental Health and Addictions at Andrea.Donovan@nshealth.ca
The Province of Nova Scotia commissions a series of housing needs assessments in 2022. The results are available here by Municipal districts.

The results of the Guysborough County Housing Network research project, undertaken with partners from StFX University and Cape Breton University are found here. The study describes the results of community consultations, interviews with service providers and realtors, stats can data analysis and other provincial data (2022).

The Remedy Report is a sweeping catalyst for change for persons with disabilities in Nova Scotia. It marks a move towards more self-determination and choices for where and how people with disabilities live and work. As residential care centres in Nova Scotia close down, former residents from Guysborough County will require options closer to family, friends and other supports. A Community Consultation was held at the CLC in September to discuss what this means for Guysborough County housing and our support services network. Community First is continuing these conversations and looking at ways to build supportive housing into our housing development strategy.
