dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines supportive housing facilities serving criminalized Indigenous women in Winnipeg, Ottawa and Greater Vancouver. Inspired by her own experiences working for the Elizabeth Fry Society of Manitoba and concern about the mass imprisonment of Indigenous women, the author draws attention to community-based supportive housing as an alternative to imprisonment and a re-entry tool. She investigates housing facilities and programs offered by three local Elizabeth Fry Societies, considering the purposes they serve within the criminal justice system, within communities and in the lives of criminalized Indigenous women. Connections are made between the aims of these facilities and programs, the aims of socially-just urban planning and the goals of reconciliation outlined by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action (2015). As a practitioner-researcher, the author is action-oriented and seeks to highlight organizations that, while operating with limited funding and within the confines of a restrictive and punitive system, try their best to provide meaningful opportunities for women.en_US
