加拿大:再拨1.3亿加元改善因纽特社区住房 累计达3.278亿

加拿大联邦政府10月30日在魁北克省库朱瓦克(Kuujjuaq)宣布,通过城乡与北方原住民住房战略向因纽特条约组织追加1.3亿加元,使该战略下因纽特组织获得的资金累计达到3.278亿加元,用于新建住房、改善居住条件和提高负担能力。
皇冠与原住民关系部长丽贝卡·奥尔蒂(Rebecca Alty)和原住民服务部长曼迪·格尔-马斯蒂(Mandy Gull-Masty)宣布了这项追加。资金将支持因纽特主导的住房项目和配套措施,包括过渡性住房、庇护所、住房导航员、租金补贴、学生短期住房和弱势群体住房。
这笔五年期资金按地区公式分配:因纽维亚卢伊特地区公司1693万加元、努纳武特通加维克公司6526万加元、马基维克公司3257万加元、努纳齐亚武特政府1550万加元。
因纽特人组织因纽特塔皮里特卡纳塔米(Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami)主席纳坦·奥贝德(Natan Obed)说,直接投资于权利持有组织已被证明高效、在社区影响更大。城乡与北方原住民住房战略是联邦40亿加元的投资。
Canada: Additional $130 Million for Inuit Housing, Bringing Total to $327.8 Million
The Government of Canada announced in Kuujjuaq, Quebec, on October 30 a top-up of $130 million through the Urban, Rural and Northern Indigenous Housing Strategy to support Inuit Treaty Organizations, building on $197.5 million already allocated, for a total of $327.8 million to build more homes and improve housing conditions and affordability for Inuit.
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty and Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty announced the top-up. The investment will support Inuit-led housing projects and measures including transitional housing, shelters, housing navigators, rent subsidies, short-term housing for students and housing for vulnerable populations.
The five-year funding of $130,268,447 is allocated by regional formula: $16,934,898 to the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, $65,264,492 to Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., $32,567,112 to Makivvik, and $15,501,945 to the Nunatsiavut Government.
Natan Obed, President of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, said direct investment to rights-holding organizations has proved efficient and has greater impact in Inuit communities. The Urban, Rural and Northern Indigenous Housing Strategy is a $4 billion federal investment.
