This was one of the concerns we heard across the Northwest
Territories. A lot of folks out there who are just trying to get into the workforce, however, rent was taking up a good portion of their money that they were making. We’ve tried to address that.
Obviously, being a new program there are still some things that need to be worked out, and then with most programs will be evaluated after a year, but for now our goal is to try to work with those who are in the market housing industry. There are many other cases that we can hear about and discuss, but those cases I think will have to have that discussion at a later date.
Right now when we’re rolling this out, we want to just concentrate on getting them into private market rentals, and then we’ll go from there and evaluate the program after a year.
