THUNDER BAY — Of the 45,000 people living in Nishnawbe Aski Nation communities, more than 7,500 are in immediate need of housing.
“They really guided the work in developing this housing strategy. It is something we are proud of and it was definitely an honour and privilege working with communities launching this strategy. It is rooted in local solutions, which is good to see.” “I think that is the case for many community members, that there is no homes available and many times they are forced in a situation where they have to leave their home communities and come to different locations and try to secure housing,” McKay said.
Some of the solutions developed as part of the strategy include communities working collaboratively with one another to bring adequate housing to remote areas of the north. According to McKay, several communities have successfully received supports from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Rapid Housing Initiative to address issues of overcrowding in homes and a lack of housing.
