Yes, in Gameti, there are five or six units that are sitting vacant, and I know there's few that needs to be retrofitted. So I don't know who he was talking to. I don't know if they did their inspections there to determine that, you know, there's no retrofit needed there. But I do know there is units that needs to be fixed.
And in Whati too as well, there's only one unit, and as we speak now, there are some family that I know that are living in a senior complex for many years. Some have raised -- I mean, they're still raising their kids in there, in the senior complex because there's no housing. And they are -- and there is a family living in the old log house. I'm sure ECE is paying rent for that where there's no essential services. So those are the things that's happening in the community -- in the communities that I'm aware of that my constituents are experiencing. So those are all unacceptable. It's like -- it's -- it's not good. So we do need help.
When I said Tlicho, we are in housing crisis, we are in housing crisis, and I notice that the Minister said Band-Aid solution, that she's, you know, not into that. But, well, I can tell you that last year or earlier this year, I had two Elders that went on the national TV. Well, after they went on national TV, they got the attention. All their houses was fixed or whatever that needed done was fixed, but it was a Band-Aid solution. So now the Band-Aid came off, now they're back to square one. Some of -- one of them, the pipe froze. There's nothing there that they can -- I mean, they don't have the services. They don't have the running water, the sewage. It's just -- the list goes on. And it's really sad. And this is my Elders, 74-year old Elder that I'm talking about that she was on the national news. And now, like -- yeah, she received the Band-Aid solution. And now the Band-Aid is off. We're back to square one. So those are the kinds of things. This is for the public unit. But it would be nice to see the home repair program budget. It would have been nice if it was part of this too as well, but I guess that's for the next time. But these are the things that are happening in the small communities. It's just -- it's really sad for me that I don't like it. That's why I am addressing housing issues for my Member's statement.
And Minister did say that there was 90-units. 90 units that's going in or to, in the NWT. Is that this fiscal year or next fiscal year? But you can answer all the question, all the stuff that I mentioned in here too as well.
