Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said the results of the 2018 homeless count are a "stark reminder" that more needs to be done to help the city's most vulnerable. The count found 2,181 homeless Vancouverites: 659 were living on the street and 1,522 were in shelters. The city released some highlights from the count:0.3 per cent of Vancouver's total population is homeless. Indigenous people, the city says, account for 2.2 per cent of Vancouver's total population. Over the course of the last several months, the city has opened or announced several temporary modular housing projects to house homeless people.
