Message from the Chairperson

For far too long, Nunatsiavummiut along the North Coast have lived with overcrowding, unsafe and unhealthy living conditions, domestic violence, and homelessness. It is time that we ensure that our basic needs are met. With the launch of the new Nunatsiavut Housing Commission, it is my hope that more our people will have access to safe, affordable, and healthy housing options.

 

The Nunatsiavut Housing Commission is mandated to establish and administer programs and to acquire, construct, develop, maintain, manage, and supply housing in Nunatsiavut for Inuit families band households, keeping in mind our most vulnerable populations. With the direction of the Board of Commissioners that consists of Inuit from across Nunatsiavut, individual community Housing Committees and the knowledge and drive of our Director of Housing, we now have the foundation to make real change to the North Coast’s housing crisis.

Nicole Dicker

Chairperson

Providing Affordable Housing to People in the Nunatsiavut Region

The Nunatsiavut Housing Commission is the Public Agency responsible for Housing in Nunatsiavut. The NHC has the power to be involved in the construction, development, management, and operations of housing of all types within the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Area, from emergency shelters to affordable home rentals.

 

The NHC is particularly mandated to respond to the housing needs of Inuit who are vulnerable, meaning those living with addictions, homelessness, disabilities, violence in the home, or those who are on a fixed income or low-income, elders, youth, children in need of social protection, and families at risk of being separated from their children. Our programs are designed to meet the varied and complex needs of all Nunatsiavummiut, in all five Inuit communities.

 

This Agency responsible for housing represents years of effort and brings to life the right to adequate housing all Labrador Inuit have pursuant to Article 2.4.28 of the Nunatsiavut Government Constitution.
