QUESTION 8-16(4): VACANCY OF PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS

Member Default

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation.

In regard to vacant public housing units in the NWT:

What is the vacancy rate of housing units by community?

What is the range and average period of vacancy for units?

Are vacant units heated or are they winterized and not heated until needed?
