Current housing agreement set to expire in March 2016
KUUJJUAQ — Nunavik is up against the clock again, waiting for Ottawa to confirm funding to pay for its share of social housing in the region for 2016.
The region’s most recent five-year, tri-partite housing agreement with the governments of Quebec and Canada ended in March 2015.
Nunavik was trying to negotiate more funding from the federal government, to help pay for a catch up program to help alleviate the region’s shortage, a need estimated at more than 1,000 units.
But the Conservative government at that time wasn’t ready to commit and instead proposed an interim agreement to buy more time.
