Summary: The Housing and Homelessness Branch of Human Resources and Social Development Canada commissioned this Report. MaxSys Consulting received funding to undertake the Project. This Report examines the state of understanding of the challenges and the solutions regarding homelessness in the Territorial North. To this end, this Report has four objectives: 1. Describe, from the literature and other data, the context of Territorial homelessness; 2. Assess, and observe upon, the information available to stakeholders, especially the stakeholders on the front line of dealing with homelessness in the Territorial North; 3. Solicit and summarise stakeholders about the nature and remedies of the homelessness challenges that they face, and put these responses in a "big picture" perspective; and 4. Provide realistic recommendations about preliminary steps to address knowledge gaps, and to improve information sharing, networking, and collaboration between stakeholders.
