Summary:
The report is an update to the 2001 Aboriginal Homelessness Plan, through a community planning process conducted June to August 2003. The report identifies the needs of Aboriginal homeless people in the GVRD; outlines service and program assets, gaps, priorities, and action strategies; and provides recommendations for the ongoing work to prevent and alleviate Aboriginal homelessness. The findings are based on interviews and consultations with homeless Aboriginal people, service providers and steering committee members. Appendices include interview guides used during the consultation.
