COST OF LIVING

Commitment 3.1.1 – We will continue to implement northern solutions for northern housing by:
Demolishing vacant housing units that are beyond their useful life in order to support land requirements for new housing investment.

The NWTHC’s Unit Disposal Plan supports the mandate of the 18th Legislative Assembly under Cost of Living priority by demolishing vacant housing units that are beyond their useful life to support land requirements for new housing investment.

The NWTHC develops an annual Unit Disposal Plan that targets fifty (50) disposals a year through sale and demolitions.

In 2016-17, the NWTHC sold thirty-one (31) units and demolished forty-eight (48) units for a total of seventy-nine (79) units.

The NWTHC’s Unit Disposal Plan for 2017-18 has been developed, twenty (20) units have been demolished or are approved for demolition and thirty-one (31) units have been sold or have sales underway. All of these actions are expected to be completed by March 31.
