Urban native housing program winnipeg

OR Employment and Income Assistance participants are charged a fixed monthly shelter rate. Applicants for housing assisted under this program will be selected on the basis of being financially unable to obtain affordable, suitable and adequate housing.

A variety of housing options for Aboriginal elderly persons, individuals with disabilities, and families is dependent on the availability of housing at time of application.

Housing First, briefly defined, emerged as a response to end chronic homelessness in the United States, Canada, and other parts of the Western world, by providing permanent housing with supports to those experiencing homelessness and mental health challenges. One of the hallmarks of the Winnipeg Site was the adaptation of the Housing First model to the local context, centering on Indigenous leadership, perspectives, and beliefs through all aspects of the project.

The primary objective of this proposal is to reflect on the early design and implementation of the Indigenous components of the Winnipeg Site of the AHCS project. We intend to explore the processes of the early relationship building and development phase as well as the governance structure necessary to localize and adapt the project. An in-depth examination and analysis of the processes of relationship building leading to distinct governance structures will allow us to identify and describe systematic approaches and promising practices for Indigenizing Housing First.

While the adaptation of HF at the Winnipeg Site required an Indigenous understanding, the processes used could inform localized adaptations in other communities. Working with our community partners, the proposed research project will contribute to a more comprehensive and shared understanding of how community-based, Indigenous-focused approaches can inform interventions that reduce urban Aboriginal homelessness.
