Mr. Speaker, I have a Return to Written Question 21-19(2) asked by the Member for Kam Lake to the Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation on November 5, 2020, regarding applications to the national co-investment fund. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
The Member inquired about how many Northwest Territories Housing Corporation employees are currently assigned to work on applications to the National Housing Co-Investment Fund. Currently, we have one full-time community relations advisor who is tasked to provide guidance and assistance to parties interested in making applications for the fund. Additionally, several Housing Corporation staff members also provide support in these efforts.
The Member also inquired about what percentage of those employees' time is spent working on applications to the National Housing Co-Investment Fund. The community relations advisor position is dedicated towards increasing access to this federal program, and it is the main focus of the position.
Lastly, the Member asked what communication activities has the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation completed in support of increasing applications to the national co-investment fund. We have been conducting joint presentations with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation at the community level at the request of community leadership. Additionally, we have a dedicated section on our website towards the National Housing Co-Investment Fund. Further, print media advertising is being used by the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation to promote this federal program. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
