Question 178-16(5): Eviction Notices In Community Of Deline
Oral Questions (Reversion)

May 18th, 2010

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have 11 days until families -- 12 families, I believe -- are going to receive eviction notices having them move out of their homes in Deline. Mr. Speaker, some of these families have children that are going to school. Right now there is

no homeless shelter in Deline and the inadequacy in the Sahtu is a high percentage, according to the 2009 NWT Housing Survey report.

I want to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Minister responsible for Homelessness, what type of plans are in place once these people receive their eviction notices and they’re asked to leave their homes. What plans do we have in place in terms of helping these people who are going to be homeless?
