Скачать или смотреть Conclusion - Jessica Rumboldt: Can we end homelessness? How?

In this video Jessica Rumboldt discusses the steps that would be needed to address Indigenous homelessness in Canada. She notes that we need a commitment to foster ongoing respectful engagement and equitable relationships with Indigenous communities. She directs us towards the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s final report as a resource for helping us think about ending Indigenous homelessness, through its identification of our collective responsibility to apologize for the intergenerational trauma inflicted by residential schools, the need to foster healing, and work towards stronger partnerships with Indigenous communities. Jessica Rumboldt argues we need to identify resources for conducting ethical research and data gathering, and that we must evaluate the evidence to find the causes and potential solutions. She notes that ending Indigenous homelessness must include housing governance structures that are effective and efficient, and that recognize unique individual factors without pan-Indigenizing responses. She concludes that prevention is key, which can be seen through models such as ‘End Homelessness Winnipeg,’ and that efforts to end Indigenous homelessness must be guided by rights-based frameworks.
