Towards an Urban Aboriginal Housing and Wellness Strategy for Metro Vancouver, 2015-2020
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Change is coming.The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the BC Representative for Children and Youth have both recently released reports summoning all levels of government, and citizens, to engage with the issues and injustices facing urban Aboriginal peoples across Canada.Securing accessible, adequate, and affordable housing is one of the critical areas of inequality facing Canada's urban Aboriginal peoples.With higher than average growth in population over the last 15 years, the supply of housing and cultural supports for Aboriginal residents in Metro Vancouver falls short.The need for appropriate housing, and a shift in the narrative around the urban Aboriginal population, has never been greater.This 5-year strategy was created by the Metro Vancouver Aboriginal Executive Council (MVAEC) in response to the clear need for Aboriginal housing and cultural services across Metro Vancouver.MVAEC is comprised of Executive Directors from 23 diverse, urban, off-reserve Aboriginal organizations, providing a strategic and unified voice for urban Aboriginal people living in Metro Vancouver.In seeking opportunities through new partnerships and the acknowledgement of the unique housing needs of this growing demographic, this strategy looks to promote access to long-term, culturally reflective, and affordable housing for all Metro Vancouver urban Aboriginal residents.This strategy calls for a follow-up 10-year regional plan for urban Aboriginal housing in Metro Vancouver, while at the same time calling for the immediate development of 1500 units as a starting point while further planning efforts are underway.The traditional territories and reserves of 11 different First Nations overlap the boundaries of the Metro Vancouver region.While they may work closely with some municipalities, First Nations with land bases located within Metro Vancouver are not responsible for, nor do they necessarily have the capacity to, house the urban Aboriginal population living off-reserve in Metro Vancouver municipalities.The question of housing for these residents falls directly into the hands of the federal and provincial governments in partnership with 'home' municipalities.In 2011 the estimated total population of Aboriginal people living in Metro Vancouver was approximately 50,000; though some communities would argue this is an underestimate

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
