The Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) provides advocacy and support for Indigenous people at risk of homelessness, prioritizing those at risk of losing their children or becoming involved in the criminal justice system. The Nihdawin Program helps Indigenous people in these situations and promotes their traditional roles within the culture.
At the Ontario Native Women’s Association ( ONWA ), we celebrate and honour the safety and healing of Indigenous Women and Girls as they take up their leadership roles in the family, community, provincially, nationally and internationally for generations to come. The Housing Worker advocates and supports Indigenous people 16 years of age or older who are or are at imminent risk of homelessness throughout the province.
Priority is given to Indigenous people who are at a greater risk of losing their children to the child welfare system and or who are at a greater risk of becoming in conflict with the law because of their homelessness. The Nihdawin Program assists Indigenous people in these circumstances and supports their traditional roles within our culture
