“We thought it would be good for us to not only share ideas but to be solutions-focused on how we can address these systemic issues that we’re seeing across the province and really make connections both within bigger urban centres, but also the rural and northern centres as well,” said MN-S director of housing Jason Mercredi.
Mercredi said the conference will not be Metis-specific, but those in attendance are asked to consider Indigenous-based solutions to the homelessness and housing instability crisis. A 2022 point-in-time survey found homelessness was up by 36 per cent in Prince Albert, 15 per cent in Saskatoon and 41 per cent in Regina. According to MN-S, the reasons vary from addictions issues and domestic abuse to mental health and wellness.
