Preventing and Ending Homelessness Among Indigenous Peoples

Please join us for the next webinar in the IGH Community of Impact webinar series. In observance of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, this webinar will foster cross-regional learning about strategies, frontline services, and community-led programs to prevent and end homelessness among Indigenous Peoples. Although Indigenous communities might be represented differently across regions, historically, Indigenous communities have been disproportionately affected by homelessness and land dispossession.
