Bâtir la force grâce à l’abri

The report advocates for 'Indigenous Healthy Energy Homes'—housing that is energy-efficient, climate-resilient, and supportive of occupant well-being—as a means to improve health outcomes for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people while contributing to Canada's net-zero goals. It identifies current government solutions as fragmented and disconnected from local realities, often failing to account for long-term health costs and greenhouse gas emissions associated with inadequate housing. The authors call for a shift from one-time project funding to long-term, flexible, and self-determined financial partnerships. Key recommendations include the creation of intergovernmental coordination mechanisms, the co-design of policies with Indigenous leaders, and the implementation of holistic measurement tools to track social, cultural, and environmental impacts of housing projects.

• The report defines 'Indigenous Healthy Energy Homes' as housing that is energy-efficient, resilient to climate change, and promotes the well-being of its occupants, focusing on human dimensions, cultural values, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
• Current government approaches to Indigenous housing are described as fragmented and siloed, which prevents the integration of health, energy, and housing policies and fails to reflect local realities.
