Description
Paper written for the Ipperwash Inquiry into the death of Dudley George.
Study evaluates community services available to homeless and at risk Indigenous people in Toronto. Found that the collaborative services model currently in place used inclusive and harm reduction models to create a non-judgmental space; identified program strengths, challenges, and gaps and makes policy recommendations.
Program designed for homeless and under-housed Indigenous peoples living in the downtown mid-west Toronto area. Evaluation consisted of environmental scan, developing a client profile, key informant interviews and focus groups.
