The Honorable Lorne Kusugak
Minister responsible for the Nunavut Housing Corporation
The vision of housing in Nunavut is one of families and individuals having fair access to a range of affordable housing options. Making this vision a reality has been, and will continue to be a remarkable challenge. But that challenge is not insurmountable.
Igluliuqatigiingniq Nunavut 3000
Building Homes Together
The goal of Nunavut 3000 is to leverage the capacity of Nunavut Housing Corporation and other housing sector stakeholders to deliver 3,000 new units across the housing continuum in Nunavut by 2030.
The Nunalingni Piruqpaalirut Fund
The Nunalingni Piruqpaalirut Fund or Growth in our Land Fund (NPF) provides financial resources to support the community housing sector in Nunavut. It was created in partnership with the Community Housing Transformation Center, under the Nunavut 3000 Strategic Plan, to address several housing priorities across the territory.
The fund will help increase the affordable housing stock, reduce homelessness, and leverage the overall resources to expand the housing continuum.
Public Housing
The NHC delivers the Public Housing Program in all 25 Nunavut communities through close cooperation with our local partners. The financial resources and professional support needed to provide ongoing public housing services to Nunavummiut are made available through management agreements between the NHC and the Local Housing Organizations.
Staff Housing
Through the Staff Housing Program, the NHC provides subsidized rental housing to term and indeterminate employees to assist in the recruitment and retention of staff and to facilitate the provision of programs and services to Nunavummiut.
Homeownership Programs
Through its Homeownership Programs and supports, the NHC assists residents who can afford the costs of homeownership to secure and maintain their house. As well, homeownership education and counseling services are provided to home owners. These services include consultations regarding purchase of existing homes or new home construction, repairs, renovations, bank financing and energy conservation.
