Native People of Sudbury Development Corporation wants federal government to renew subsidy agreements

Feb 13, 2017

Over the next five years there could be less affordable housing available for Indigenous residents, not just in Sudbury, but across the country.

The Native People of Sudbury Development Corporation owns and operated 95 housing units in Sudbury and 11 in Espanola.

There are operational agreements in place for subsidized rent funded by the federal government.

By 2020 and beyond the mortgages on all their units will start to mature, says the housing agency’s executive director, James King-Séguin.

Once that starts to happen the operating agreements for subsidized funding will be terminated.
