This session examines the evolution of supportive housing in Canada through the lens of evidence-based research, rights-based approaches and Indigenous self-determination. The panel will discuss the gap between policy and frontline experience to identify which models drive long-term housing stability and what changes are needed to design the next generation of effective, culturally grounded solutions.

Speakers: Damian Collins, Dr. Marie Cecile Kotyk, Tricia Smith, Keri Cardinal
