  Seconded by: A. Paquette

  That the Mayor, on behalf of City Council, request an emergency meeting with the Government of Alberta on the winter shelter crisis and the shelter space gap in Edmonton, and the following points are to be highlighted:
  

  1. There are currently more that 2,750 unhoused Edmontonians, and over 1,250 of those are sleeping in emergency shelters or outdoors.
  2. This situation has reached a crisis point due to declining temperatures, health and security concerns. 
  3. Alberta Health Services identified on November 30, 2022, 182 cases of shigella which is primarily affecting our unhoused neighbours.
  4. Recently, Edmonton Fire Rescue Services and the Edmonton Police Service have confirmed the deaths of four Edmontonians living in encampments, and last night, another unhoused neighbor was found dead on our City’s streets.
  5. Shelter capacity has consistently been above 95 per cent on cold nights and between 150 and 400 people have been supported navigating from transit stations at closing. 
  6. Significant inequity exists between the number of permanent shelter spaces funded for the City of Calgary compared to the City of Edmonton as Calgary receives three times as many spaces compared to Edmonton.
  7. Even when the additional 450 temporary shelter spaces provided by the Government of Alberta are in operation, there are still not enough spaces to meet people’s needs.
  8. The City of Edmonton has been responding to this crisis even though ending houselessness, providing supportive housing and emergency shelter spaces is a core jurisdictional responsibility of the Province of Alberta. 
  9. The provincial Government under new leadership has committed to addressing the affordability and mental health crisis. 
  10. Therefore, immediate action is required by the province of Alberta to address the winter shelter crisis to save lives.
