NICHI Announces Funding for Nunavut Housing Projects

The National Indigenous Critical Housing Initiative (NICHI) has announced funding for four Nunavut housing projects totaling $9.5 million. The projects aim to address urgent and unmet housing needs in urban, rural, and northern regions of the territory.

Funded Projects:

1. Arviat Housing Corporation: $5 million for the construction of 18 new affordable housing units in Arviat. 2. Qikiqtaaluk Housing Corporation: $2.5 million for the construction of 12 new affordable housing units in Iqaluit. 3. Kitikmeot Housing Corporation: $1 million for the development of a housing plan and the construction of a new housing unit in Cambridge Bay. 4. Baffin Housing Corporation: $1 million for the design and development of a new housing complex in Pangnirtung.

Project Details:

  • The Arviat and Iqaluit projects will prioritize affordable housing for families and individuals with low income.
  • The Cambridge Bay project will focus on housing for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
  • The Pangnirtung project aims to provide mixed-income housing to address the growing need for affordable housing in the community.

Importance of Funding:

The funding will help address the critical housing shortage in Nunavut, where many people live in overcrowded or inadequate housing. The projects are expected to create new housing units, improve living conditions, and contribute to the economic development of the territory.

NICHI Mandate:

NICHI is a $1 billion investment from the Government of Canada to support the construction, repair, and maintenance of Indigenous housing across the country. The initiative aims to address the disproportionate housing needs of Indigenous communities and improve their quality of life.
