About this service
Homelessness, and in particular Aboriginal homelessness, is a national problem. However, in Brant/Brantford, the situation is particularly acute. While the Aboriginal population accounts for only 3-5% of the total population of Brant/Brantford, it disproportionately accounts for 26% of the homeless population, significantly more than in other major Ontario cities. Additionally, the Aboriginal population of Brant/Brantford accounts for 25% of those on waiting lists for subsidized housing. Many of those most at risk are single parent families.
Further exacerbating the situation is Brant/Brantford's proximity to several large Reserves. As noted in a 2003 "Brant/Brantford Affordable Housing Strategy Demand and Supply Analysis Report", many Aboriginal persons experiencing housing difficulties on Reserve migrate to the City of Brantford in search of housing and support services.
