An access to information request shows the number of vacant units at Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation (NLHC) is 143 as of July 26th.
PC Official Opposition Leader David Brazil is raising the alarm about recent information that shows there are hundreds of low income housing units across the province sitting empty, while hundreds of families are desperate for a place to live. An access to information request shows the number of vacant units at Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation (NLHC) is 143 as of July 26th. Those units are “in various stages of repair process,” according to the documents. Another 213 units are “selected, pending selection or no demand.” Brazil says there are hundreds of Ukrainians living in hotels, while waitlists for housing have exploded. MUN has students with no housing and has even offered to defer studies to send students back home. He says a housing crisis is unfolding before our eyes and Government is sitting on hundreds of empty units.
