Abstract

This research project will centre Indigenous youth voices in describing unique challenges and coping in the Kenora region of Northwestern Ontario when it comes to homelessness amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the outcomes, the project seeks to analyze Indigenous youth feedback about health and well-being impacts related to service delivery modifications and/or disruptions as a result of a pandemic.
