"Embracing a Saskatchewan-based approach to reconciliation of housing and health on First Nations, this research aims to develop, action and evaluate a framework to address and redress on-reserve housing builds and housing maintenance. This process will bring together First Nations community leaders and members, academics, home builders and home-maintenance providers, wellness providers, training and program development providers and policy influencers in the address and redress of this significant determinant of health outcomes." - project summary provided on SHRF's website.
