Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The strategy for the Housing Corporation to address seniors' needs is necessitated by the results of the needs survey, which indicate that seniors are in the highest need group. 32 percent of all seniors households in the Northwest Territories have some form of housing need compared to 28 percent of single people and as a group in total including families, which is 20 percent.
We are interested in working with other departments and various community organizations and various seniors societies in trying to develop a housing strategy to address the more serious needs in communities where the needs are greatest.
