[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
I can say that for eight months, I was homeless. My home was absolutely damaged. There was mould everywhere. It was really hard to repair. We waited for a very long time for the supplies.
We were in government housing, and we had to take good care of it. If we broke something in it, we had to pay for it. We had to be extra cautious. I have many grandchildren. They're small, so they just want to destroy this and that. It was challenging to look after this unit where we were, which was owned by the government. We managed to keep it pretty clean and undamaged while we waited and they worked on the house foundation and the floor.
We had to move before the house was completed, because our term with the government housing had ended. We had to move to an unfinished house.
