their communities. People who need temporary and crisis shelters also lack options. The Nunavut Housing Corporation manages approximately 7,800 public and staff housing units, or about two thirds of the territory’s overall housing supply of 11,720 dwellings[1] . Approximately 60 per cent of public housing units were constructed before Nunavut became a territory in 1999. Recognizing the situation will get worse without a new approach, the Nunavut Housing Corporation developed Nunavut 3000 to provide a platform to invest in housing using innovative procurement methods, developing enduring partnerships with Inuit organizations, and engaging with other housing stakeholders and developers. The Nunavut Housing Corporation is redesigning its programs and introducing new incentivizes to support the development of affordable and transitional housing. Programs will be available to builders, homeowners, investors, and community housing providers. The vision for all Nunavummiut to live in adequate, safe, and healthy homes will be achieved by: • expanding the housing continuum and increasing the range of housing options available to Nunavummiut; [1] Census 2021 6
