TRHA AGM Update

Torngat Regional Housing Association held their annual general meeting in Makkovik last week.

William Lucy is the co-ordinator.

He says there have been no selections made on who will be getting a new house on the north coast, except in Hopedale.

Lucy says monies for housing construction and repairs were allocated.

He says the Nunatsiavut Government allocated $500,000 when the board met in February.

From that $500,000, Nain will get one four bedroom house, and Hopedale one two bedroom home.

$116,000 was also allocated from TRHA’s HST money.

Housing repairs were allocated as per the following: $34,000 for Nain, $50,000 for Hopedale, and $32,000 went to Makkovik.

Lucy adds Nain will receive four new homes, plus $81,459 for repairs.

Home repairs for Hopedale will total $50,000.

Makkovik will have one new home built, plus the repairs.

In Rigolet, three new homes will be built, and $70,000 in repairs will be completed.
