Aboriginal Homelessness in Canada

Aboriginal homelessness in Canada refers to the lack of stable housing among Indigenous peoples, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. Factors contributing to this issue include historical colonization, displacement, systemic inequalities, discrimination, and poverty. These challenges can lead to higher rates of homelessness compared to non-Indigenous populations, affecting individuals' well-being, cultural connection, and community stability. Addressing Aboriginal homelessness requires culturally sensitive solutions that acknowledge unique histories and needs, emphasizing the importance of reconciliation, adequate housing, and systemic support to foster Indigenous sovereignty and improve living conditions.
