In Fort Good Hope, a Dene community in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories, the K'ásho Got’ı̨ne Housing Society (KGHS) is coordinating a community-led response to this housing crisis – a response that centres critical connections between Indigenous conceptualisations of home, community wellbeing, and self-determination.

Using housing in Fort Good Hope as an active site of engagement, this research draws on policy scoping and semi-structured in-depth interviews to map out current barriers to the self-government of housing in Fort Good Hope, and investigate how housing policy and governance in the NWT might be adapted to better support Indigenous home and self-determination.
