Assisted by a consulting firm, Pauktuutit conducted an analysis of housing services available to Inuit and interviews of service providers in twelve urban centres: Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, St. John’s, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Halifax, Regina, Edmonton, Yellowknife, Victoria, and Fredericton, and conducted interviews with non-Inuit service providers in these cities. The reports, National Urban Inuit Housing and Homelessness Needs Assessment: Research Summary and National Urban Inuit Housing and Homelessness Needs Assessment: Service Provider Interviews summarize responses of service providers in each city and offer over arching themes and observations from the interview processes. Additionally, Pauktuutit completed a review of examined international homelessness approaches and strategies to leverage those practices for the betterment of Inuit in Canada, completed a literature review focussed on the adequacy and effectiveness of homelessness programs and services for urban Inuit in Canada, and an overview of homelessness and housing programs and services in the 12 designated urban All documents may be obtained by contacting Pauktuutit’s Social and Economic Development team by email at lijtemaye@pauktuutit.ca.
