The two groups say Housing N.W.T., the territory’s housing agency, is failing northern Indigenous people
Two national housing groups are calling on the Northwest Territories to declare a state of emergency for housing Indigenous people, particularly women and girls.
Richard Edjericon, a member of the territory’s legislative assembly, tabled photos in October depicting an insect infestation in a public housing unit in the Lanky Court apartment building in Yellowknife. Beyond public housing, the 2021 census found just over 13 per cent of N.W.T. households were in need of core housing, meaning their dwellings did not meet at least one of adequacy, affordability or suitability standards. Yellowknife’s latest point-in-time homeless account said 312 people experienced homelessness in the city in 2021.
“We have a plan. We’re not just calling the state of emergency to say ‘do something,”’ Thurber said, adding the plan includes purchasing 70 off-grid homes to support those most in need.
