The GNWT has contracted NorthWays Consulting in association with Impact Economics (the Research Team) to undertake a review of GNWT homelessness resources. The purpose of the review was to conduct a summative assessment and scan of GNWT homelessness resources that will contribute to a strategic planning process.
In general, the recommendation focus on the following key areas:
1) Establish a Strategic Approach to Program and Service Delivery
2) Increase the Level of Housing Stock in all Communities
3) Establish Greater Collaboration and Integration of Resource Allocation and Program and Service Delivery
4) Develop More In-depth Information Gathering Processes
5) Review Relevant Policies and Programs
It is hoped that by adopting these recommendations, the level of homelessness in the NWT will be significantly reduced and that programs and services will be provided in a more effective and efficient manner.
