OTTAWA — The federal auditor general is “completely discouraged” to see so little improvement to substandard housing in First Nations over the past two decades, a new report says.
Hogan’s report says communities with the poorest housing conditions received the least funding, and the government failed to ensure homes met building code standards. That represents about a fifth of what’s needed in new builds and repairs to close existing gaps, Hogan found. While Indigenous Services Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation are currently responsible for supporting First Nations housing, the former has a mandate to transfer governance responsibilities to First Nations.
The Liberals promised a $500-million expansion to the program in 2021, which sees the federal and provincial government combine funds to pay for policing on First Nations.
