In this webinar, researchers Dr. Cathy Fournier and Cohen Pinkoski discuss the Journey to Reconciliation project. The project explores the experiences of Indigenous Peoples who have experienced being unhoused in the past or currently, as well as the perspectives of service providers about preventing Indigenous homelessness/houselessness using a story gathering approach.

With the guidance of our Indigenous Advisory Committee at the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness the researchers heard from over 80 with people with lived/living experiences of being unhoused, as well as service providers who provide programming for Indigenous clients. This session presents early findings from this research and highlight the major themes that emerged from their narrative analysis.
