HOMELESS HUB REPORT SERIES - REPORT #4
Homelessness in Yellowknife: An Emerging Social Challenge
by Nick Falvo
There is a considerable amount of visible homelessness in Yellowknife (NWT), yet very little third-party analysis of the situation. This report begins by briefly discussing who is homeless in Yellowknife and then outlines program responses, including emergency shelters and various models of housing. An overview will then be provided of major funding initiatives from the federal and territorial governments, as well as various forms of homelessness assistance provided by the City of Yellowknife. The report concludes by making policy recommendations with respect to the need for increased accountability, shelter standards, more housing options for the homeless, and a public health response to alcohol and drug use.

This report reveals that a surprising number of Canadians have had first-hand experience being homeless – nearly 1/4 of Canadians have received assistance from a food bank or charitable group while 7% reported that they have had to sleep on the street or in a shelter due to lack of housing at some point in their lives.

by Leo, Christopher
The federal government’s Aboriginal policy in Winnipeg addresses a wide variety of very real community needs. At the same time, it is marked by disingenuous reporting of funding, a paternalistic attitude toward the aboriginal leadership, and — most seriously of all — implementation methods that could hardly have been better calculated to exacerbate the already sharp divisions within the Aboriginal community.
