The BFZ Change Effort
The Report Card
Built for Zero Canada is an ambitious national change effort to end homelessness, one community at a time. Built for Zero Peterborough (BFZ-Ptbo) is a group of local organizations committed to ending chronic homelessness by December 31st, 2025.
Each month BFZ-Ptbo will share information about the number of people experiencing homelessness in our community. We hope that sharing this information will promote transparency and accountability in our homelessness response.

By taking a close look at the data each month, we can start to:
- Focus on the facts (what we know), rather than the narrative (what we think)
- Adjust our services based on current events
- See what needs to be done to end homelessness
- Improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness
These people have not been heard from in 90 days or more, have left town, no longer meet the definition of chronic homelessness, or have died. People who no longer meet the definition of chronic homelessness are still captured in our overall number if they are still homeless.
Some have been in our system before and some we met for the first time.
These people had not been heard from in 90 days or more. Some returned to town, or met the definition of chronically homeless again.
They have been in our homelessness system before, secured housing, and then lost that housing.
These people moved into housing (rental units, living with family, long term care, etc.).

What is the Data Telling Us?
In February and November 2020 we made efforts to improve our data by conducting a review of all information we had. This resulted in changes and improved data that is more up-to-date.
In 2020, 40 households moved into new affordable housing units. Six of these households were people experiencing homelessness from the By-Name Priority List. Ten new housing units for individuals and families experiencing homelessness were developed in collaboration with community partners. 187 isolation stays occurred to support homeless individuals. Overall, 450 shifts from homelessness to housing happened in 2020.

COVID Response
In the first quarter of 2021 weencountered 152 unique individualsexperiencing chronic homelessness.
25% fewer individualsexperienced chronic homelessness so far in 2021 than the first quarter of 2020.
Notes about homelessness in 2021 2021 will continue to be a challenging year for the homelessness system, especially with a difficult housing market and the ripple effects of COVID-19. However, we are committed to ending chronic homelessness, whatever it takes.
This high number reflects the challenging nature of staying in touch with the people we serve during the pandemic.
As our chronic move-in numbers continue to be low, we need to explore creative solutions and engage with landlords to maximize available housing options.
