Joedy Wall says the report highlights issues with oversight, data quality and management, planning and execution.
The Minister of Housing, Social Supports and Well-Being, Joedy Wall reacted to the AG’s report shortly afterwards. In Budget 2024, it was announced that NLHC would be absorbed into the Provincial Government. Wall says this was made with no plan, and no work was ever done to make it happen. The only impact it did have was stalling crucial decision-making. Also, he says over a two-year period, the corporation had six different ministers and stakeholders are tired of briefing a new minister every three to six months. Wall says they have since appointed a full-time, dedicated CEO for the NLHC and will create a position to complete a policy review for the first time in over a decade. There is also a contract to replace outdated rental management software. He says the report highlights issues with oversight, data quality and management, planning and execution, serious issues which must be addressed.”
