Inuit Housing in Ottawa: Looking Forward

As part of the community capacity building component of the Supporting Community Partnerships Initiative, the City of Ottawa Housing Branch allocated the time of one consulting team to work with the Inuit community to work with Tungasuvvingat Inuit (TI) to provide some basic research on the housing needs and services, to identify gaps, and to make recommendations on how to fill the gaps in housing for Inuit in Ottawa. In consultation with TI, the consultants identified a meager amount of popular literature for review, interviewed managers of four emergency shelters, and facilitated a half-day planning meeting with representatives from TI and the Inuit Non-Profit Housing Corporation to discuss current needs, priorities and steps for moving forward. It was also agreed that a brief report on findings would be provided to TI and the the City of Ottawa. This is the promised report.
