I do work with our colleagues at Pauktuutit, for example, and there's a grave shortage of shelters up north. I also know that in our first nations communities, there's also a shortage. As to the shelters that are not on reserve, many are not culturally appropriate and the women that live in urban centres—52% of the population now live off communities—do not feel that the shelters in the mainstream address their needs.
