Regina homelessness down slightly in 2025, latest count shows

The Sask. government is looking to help addicts who are beyond seeking treatment themselves.

The number of people experiencing homelessness in Regina fell slightly in 2025, according to the city’s latest Point-in-Time (PiT) count.

The Namerind Housing Corporation released 2025 statistics Tuesday, with the numbers showing the city’s homeless population had dropped from 824 in 2024 to 767 in 2025.

“While the reduction in numbers is a step in the right direction, it’s also reinforcement that we have to keep doing what we’ve been doing,” Robert Byers, the president and chief executive officer of the Namerind Housing Corporation said in a news release. “It will take our entire community to end homelessness here in Regina.”
