Affordable Housing

Project Description

There is a housing crisis in Nunavut. This crisis continues to grow despite the overwhelming decades of information supporting the urgency for action.

The housing shortage is one of the greatest barriers to empowering Inuit and to economic and social growth in Nunavut. Over 50 percent of Inuit live in social housing and, depending on the community, up to 75 percent in social housing are also faced with overcrowding. The housing shortage inhibits employment, education, and healthcare.

QC, through its subsidiary QBDC, supports Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. and Qikiqtani Inuit Association in advancing an Inuit-led housing plan that provides affordable and sustainable housing options for Inuit in all Qikiqtani communities.
