It's been an ongoing issue as a huge part of the infrastructure gap that exists in the territory. It is a priority for all stakeholders in Nunavut. It's top of mind every day, not only for Inuit organizations but also for the territorial government.
This is an area the QIA is endeavouring to address by creating affordable housing in our communities. We've started in five of our 13 communities with the hope of being able to expand to all 13 communities to provide affordable housing options for Inuit at the local level. This will enable them to come out of territorial social housing and create an opportunity for them to build up the means to pursue their own homes in the private market if they become available in our communities.
The majority of our communities have a very small private market. Iqaluit, the capital, has the largest private market, but the prices are so high that it is essentially unattainable for Inuit—even for double-income families—to be able to own their own homes right now.
