OHFRN-CoI Webinar on Racism and anti-racism in Housing First
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
Racial justice is important to the health and housing sectors. Research has shown troubling over-representation of Black and Indigenous populations in homelessness.
This webinar will examine ways to appropriately serve racialized populations by highlighting:
- an anti-racism, anti-oppression-based HF program in Toronto, part of the At Home/Chez Soi Demonstration Project
- how the original At Home/Chez Soi HF programs were adapted in Winnipeg to include the Wiisocotatiwin/Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), Ni-Apin and Wi Che Win Indigenous approaches, values and cultural lenses
- an Indigenous HF program in Ottawa.
