WRITTEN QUESTION 21-16(4): BARRIER-FREE HOUSING

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

Could the Minister provide the official written definition that the Housing Corporation uses to define and demonstrate barrier-free housing?

Would the Minister provide details as to the location of each of the 300 barrier-free units in the corporation’s public housing inventory by community and by size of each individual unit with regards to the number of bedrooms?

Would the Minister list what modifications, specifically to each unit, which make it fall within the definition being used by the Housing Corporation where they have defined it as being a barrier-free unit?
