-In Moncton (2009), 737 individuals used a homeless shelter for at least one night.
a decrease of 19 from the year before
-In 2006, one in every six children in New Brunswick lived in poverty.
-In March 2011, 18 539 New Brunswickers received food from food banks, (34.4% were children).
While these numbers are decreasing, it is clear that the future of youth homelessness is far from resolved.
