  • Overview of Indigenous Services Canada Initiatives
    Annex 8 OVERVIEW OF INDIGENOUS SERVICES CANADA INITIATIVES FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE NATIONAL INQUIRY INTO MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN AND GIRLS Introduction Housing is a fundamental need and all Canadians, including Indigenous peoples, should have access to adequate, safe and affordable housing. Nearly one in five Indigenous people live in housing in need of major repairs, and one in five also live in overcrowded housing.1 It is understood that overcrowding and poor housing conditions can be a contributing factor to family violence, sometimes causing people to leave their communities. Households in Canada’s north, particularly Inuit women and girls, are more likely to be in core housing need and face the most crowded living conditions in all of Canada. This situation contributes to homelessness, particularly among Inuit women, and has a direct negative impact on a number of health concerns such as family violence, respiratory illnesses, and children’s ability to learn. Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) work collaboratively with partners, including the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), to improve access to high quality services for First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The Government of Canada’s vision is to support and empower Indigenous peoples to independently deliver services and address the needs and challenges in their communities. ISC welcomes the opportunity to share its initiatives in this area with Commissioners of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (the Inquiry), and will focus on what we are providing now along the housing continuum, and our plans going forward, to support better outcomes for Indigenous peoples, particularly women and girls.
