Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Mr. Braden on October 26, 2004, regarding the market housing initiative results.
Twenty-two units were delivered for phase one of the market housing initiative in seven communities: Fort Good Hope, Tulita, Fort Providence, Fort Resolution, Norman wells, Fort Liard and Lutselk'e.
As of January 31, 2005, eight of the 22 units were occupied. Tenants include divisional education council employees, GNWT employees, health and social services board employees, and community residents.
To identify potential clients and their needs, the Housing Corporation completed a market rental housing assessment in all non-market-based communities. For the assessment, responses were solicited from health and social services boards, education boards, local housing organizations, departments, development corporations and private companies. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
