Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Today, we honour the children, youth, families, and communities who have been impacted by Canada’s residential school system, and we recognize that the effects of this history continue to be felt today.
The legacy of residential schools, along with ongoing systemic barriers and intergenerational trauma, continues to impact Indigenous communities — including Indigenous youth experiencing housing instability and homelessness.
According to the Government of Canada, 55% of Indigenous respondents experiencing homelessness reported that they first experienced homelessness as a child or youth.
At oneROOF, we believe every young person deserves a safe place to call home. Today, we reflect, we listen, and we commit to continuing the work of creating safer, more equitable communities for Indigenous youth and all youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Every Child Matters. 🧡
