The City of Yellowknife acknowledges that we are located in Chief Drygeese territory. From time immemorial, it has been the traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, and more recently, the homeland of the North Slave Métis Alliance. We respect the histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Metis, Inuit, and all First Peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our vibrant community.

The Everyone is Home : Yellowknife's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness was completed in 2017, and one of the many recommendations noted was the development of Homelessness Commission, geared specifically to end homelessness in Yellowknife.

The Homelessness Commission comprised of Indigenous, municipal and territorial leaders will:

  1. Collaborate to end homelessness through strategic partnerships;
  2. Provide high level direction on the strategic implementation of  Everyone is Home : Yellowknife's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness.

Through quarterly meetings, the Commission will lead the implementation of the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness by approving an annual plan through a supportive and collaborative structure.  The Commission will work to lead strategic priorities and opportunities that allow for the continued delivery of programs and the establishment of new initiatives and prevention strategies.

The Homelessness Commission will consist of the following members:

  • Chief – Yellowknives Dene First Nation
  • Indigenous Elder
  • Mayor – City of Yellowknife
  • Councillor – City of Yellowknife
  • Minister–NWT Housing Corporation/Minister Responsible for Homelessness
  • City Administrator – City of Yellowknife (Ex-Officio)
  • President – NWT Housing Corporation (Ex-Officio)
  • Administrative Support – City of Yellowknife
