We must not forget the most vulnerable of our citizens, especially our elders. The 2000 Housing Needs Survey, tabled last March by the Honourable Roger Allen, Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation, identified that one-third of our seniors are in need of more suitable housing. In response, the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation directed some of its capital resources to address the greater need for housing for our seniors. Also, through consultation with the communities, the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation developed a Seniors' Housing Strategy. As part of that strategy, this budget includes $560,000 to fund the operation of 37 new seniors housing units.
