RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
KEY STEPS information to help assess BC Housing’s progress in addressing reconciliation goals. Seek feedback and input from Indigenous housing providers regarding how they would prefer to have discussions regarding what worked and what did not with respect to housing development projects. Create a lessons learned template for Indigenous Housing Providers to collect joint information as agreed. On a collaborative basis, translate these lessons learned into program and policy changes. Establish a baseline of existing socio-economic indicators and measures currently used or contemplated. Research examples of additional indicators used for housing development. Share these findings with Indigenous housing providers and engage in an open discussion regarding to what extent these indicators measure impacts and what other indicators should be identified.
Housing developments should have an assessment tool or process, which could include a collaborative and honest dialogue about what worked and what did not between the partners and possibly stakeholders. Results of the assessment would result in long term relationship improvements.
Research and track socio-economic indicators to determine the impact of BC Housing’s actions toward progress on reconciliation (e.g., number of housing units, number of Indigenous people employed by BC Housing, number of Indigenous students enrolled in housing programs, percentage of Indigenous population that is homeless over time, being housed by BC Housing, and/or receiving BC Housing services).
