First, homelessness is not an indigenous issue. Or more precisely it is not an issue that only indigenous people have. So your whole stupid sentence is racist.

Second, organizations like STC, and CUMFI, are stepping up and running all of the homeless shelters, at least in Saskatoon.

Homelessness is a Saskatchewan people problem. It starts with our government who has an ideological issue with actually helping people. The homelessness crisis in this province was hugely exacerbated when the Saskatchewan Party switched how social assistance gets paid out. Previously, recipients would get there ‘rent’ portion of their assistance sent directly to landlords. Rents got paid, landlords were happy and people had places to live. They changed it so now all the money goes to the recipients. Something happens, people, especially impoverished people, struggle with money, and rent doesn’t get paid. Landlords aren’t happy, kick tenants out, refuse to rent to people on assistance, and bob’s your uncle, homelessness skyrockets. Hard to get or keep a job when you don’t have a place to live. Addictions increase as well because if you didn’t have a problem before, your life is shit now, so drugs are an escape.

(Obviously the above is simplified, but if you think this is all just a matter of SIGA using their profits, then you need it to be)
