Ottawa is located on unceded Algonquin, Anishnabek territory.Put simply, these lands were stolen from the traditional keepers for the purposes of settlers. Dispossession of land is just one form of ongoing colonization that has led to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people disproportionately experiencing homelessness.
Embracing Indigenous leadership and collaboration is crucial to ensuring the prevention, reduction, and ultimate end of homelessness.
While ATEHO focuses on system-level change, we acknowledge how challenging it can be if you are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness, and don’t know where to get the support you need most.
