Etli-Sankweimɨk
(Housing Complex)
Safety is essential for housing support to vulnerable populations, requiring strict confidentiality and crisis intervention.
The Housing Complex is a secure supportive housing facility at an undisclosed location and offers temporary safe housing for Indigenous women, children, 2-Spirited and trans community members fleeing violence.
Overview
The Etli-Sankweimɨk has been created out of a community wide need for safe housing for women, transperson, and child (ren) who are fleeing family violence. The intention is to offer secure temporary housing to support the well-being and healing of Indigenous individuals and families experiencing abuse. An integral piece of this second-stage housing is to provide a culturally safe space and programming that supports the healing and wellness of residents by building capacity, self-esteem, and healthy coping skills.
Etli-Sankweimɨk is a part of the MNFC’s housing team, and works alongside of the Housing Support Workers and Intensive Case Managers.
Etli-Sankweimɨk is regularly staffed by MNFC.
We offer support that is sensitive to trauma, focused on the individual, and mindful of cultural perspectives while promoting safety and reducing harm.
