The federal government is giving Nunavut $45 million to build 101 affordable housing units in six communities.
Ahmed Hussen, the federal minister for Housing, Diversity and Inclusion, said Friday the units will be built in Iqaluit, Sanirajak, Kimmirut, Naujaat, Kugaaruk and Pond Inlet.
“When completed, these units will support people who are vulnerable, including women and children, and those who are homeless or who are at risk of becoming homeless,” Hussen said.
“These projects will do a lot of good, and they’re located right across the territory of Nunavut.”
The funding will come from the Rapid Housing Initiative, a federal program
