Thank you.
Thank you for the invitation.
Ullaakkut. Good morning.
My name is Marie-Christine Vanier, and I am the communications officer for the Kativik Municipal Housing Bureau, KMHB.
I want to begin by thanking you for the opportunity to give you an overview of an important organization in northern Quebec, the Kativik Municipal Housing Bureau, a key organization that provides housing for almost all Nunavik citizens, Inuit.
We were expecting you and we were very happy to welcome you to Kuujjuaq. We even prepared bannock, which we ate to your health.
When we talk about housing in Nunavik, you will understand that we are talking about social housing.
The KMHB is a non-profit organization whose main objective is to acquire and administer housing for low to moderate income individuals or families. It manages and administers a social housing stock of 3,144 units in 14 Nunavik communities. In each of those communities, we have a local housing office, a housing manager, and a maintenance and repair team.
