Perspectives on the Housing First Program with Indigenous Participants


The video ‘Perspectives on the Housing First Program by Indigenous Participants’ is based on a play, created from a research project. It is an innovative approach to sharing the stories and experiences of individuals on personal journeys from circumstances of homelessness to living in their own homes with supports from Homeward Trust’s Housing First Support Program.


Homeward Trust Edmonton has been honoured to partner with Blue Quills First Nations College on this project, and with our partner agencies providing supports for community members in the Housing First Support Program. This project would not be possible without the support of our funders, The Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We recognize we are gathered, in collaboration and with joint purpose, on Treaty 6 territory. This territory is the home and gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples. The Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Inuit, and many others. We know the importance of the Treaty and our responsibility to these communities and that only in partnership can we create the social change necessary to end homelessness. It is vital that we meaningfully engage and partner with Indigenous people and communities in this work. It is important to recognize and address the conditions brought forth by colonialism. Displacement from traditional homelands, systemic racism, residential schools, the Sixties Scoop, and the ongoing overrepresentation of Indigenous people in child welfare, correctional systems, and homelessness are responsibilities we all share.
