Indigenous housing shortage

Indigenous housing shortages refer to the lack of adequate, safe, and affordable housing for Indigenous communities, particularly in Canada and Australia. Many Indigenous people face overcrowded living conditions, often due to historical factors like colonization, displacement, and systemic inequality. Insufficient funding, infrastructural challenges, and bureaucratic obstacles prevent the construction and maintenance of quality homes. Addressing this shortage involves recognizing Indigenous rights, investing in housing development, and working collaboratively with communities to create sustainable solutions that reflect their needs and cultures.
