It is a startling statistic. According to a recent study on the Na-Me-Res main website, 15 per cent of Indigenous people experience homelessness in Toronto, even though they only make up around 0.5 per cent of the population. It is this imbalance that Na-Me-Res is trying to address.
Located in Toronto, Na-Me-Res (Native Men’s Residence) provides outreach services, along with temporary, transitional and permanent housing, to help homeless Indigenous men across the GTA to rediscover mino bimaadiziwin — living a good life in health.
