Rhoda Ezekiel of Quaqtaq asks owners to take good care of their dogs.<br />
The housing shortage for Inuit in Nunavik has long been identified<br />
as central to a range of domestic and community challenges. <strong>Makivik</strong><br />
corporate secretary Andy Moorhouse spoke as the chairman of KMHB<br />
during the AGM. “We still need more than $200-million for renovations,”<br />
he said. Many units are badly rundown; some are bug infested.<br />
He explained it is KRG that decides which communities get new social<br />
housing constructed. “There are only seven members on the KMHB<br />
board and we didn’t want them to decide because not all communities<br />
would be represented."<br />
According to the present trend in population growth, it is estimated<br />
that Nunavik will need about 80 new units every year to keep up, not<br />
including the roughly <strong>90</strong>0 units needed to catch-up with the shortage<br />
today. KMHB now manages over 2,100 social housing units with an office<br />
in each community, having their own separate budgets for operations<br />
and management. Some families are asking for units with more bedrooms.<br />
Many are behind in paying rent. KMHB strongly urges tenants<br />
not to be wasteful in the use of water and electricity and not to damage<br />
their home. These services are very expensive and the costs related<br />
to operations and maintenance is increasing.<br />
