Written Question 4-19(2): Action Plan on Core Housing Need

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. In September 2017, the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation released a three-year action plan with the title "Towards Level Ground: Addressing Persistent Core Need in the Northwest Territories." This plan responded to a 2016 motion supported by Regular Members that called for a comprehensive and fully costed plan to reduce housing problems identified in the 2014 Community Survey. Can the Minister please provide a report on the actions taken during the first two years of the action plan (2017-2018 and 2018-2019), including how many households the Housing Corporation assisted and:

a breakdown of the type of assistance by action and/or initiative as detailed on page 11 of the action plan;

a breakdown of money spent on each of these actions and/or initiatives by fiscal year;

a projection of assistance by action or initiative as detailed on page 11 of the action plan along with a breakdown of money spent in each one for the current fiscal year; and,

a projection of how federal money under the National Housing Strategy will assist in meeting these measures in the current fiscal year.

Thank you.
