THEME
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
KEY STEPS Summarize this additional feedback and report out to Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations on actions taken or planned. Adopt flexible timelines in projects with Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations to allow for a ‘pause’ when local issues or priorities arise (e.g., global pandemic, state of emergency, natural disaster); create a plan to maintain communication on the status of this pause and to ensure that work is “restarted” in a respectful way. Assess the specific comments regarding program flexibility received to date through this initial engagement.
Create increased flexibility in project timelines and housing program requirements and designs to accommodate the unique cultural and community needs of Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations (such as single and multi-person housing; gathering spaces; larger kitchens; housing to accommodate multi- generational families).
Collate the flexibility considerations into
categories and frame as a set of defining questions.
Communicate with Indigenous Nations, communities, and
organizations to seek more specific input. Review any changes to the program to increase flexibility with Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations.
