NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 5 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL The Honourable Lew Philip Deputy Commissioner, Government of Nunavut Dear Deputy Commissioner, I have the honour of presenting the Annual Report for the Nunavut Housing Corporation, covering the period from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. Respectfully submitted, The Honourable Cecile Nelvana Lyall Minister Responsible for the Nunavut Housing Corporation

We remain committed to advancing solutions that reﬂect the unique needs of our territory and to achieving even greater milestones in the years ahead. “ “ Board of Directors

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 7 Innovative approaches, strategic partnerships, and steadfast commitment are yielding tangible results. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR It is my pleasure to present the Nunavut Housing Corporation’s 2024–25 Annual Report, which reﬂects a year of determination, progress and partnership in addressing one of Nunavut’s most pressing challenges—housing. This report details the work we have done to expand Nunavut’s housing continuum, strengthen local capacity, and improve quality of life in our communities.

Igluliuqatigiingniq — Building Houses Together continues to transform how housing is developed in our territory. Through the Nunavut 3000 initiative, we are delivering high-quality housing, increasing the supply of new housing units at a signiﬁcant rate, at better value, and in greater alignment with community needs. In 2024–25, we launched new programs and renewed existing ones to improve homeownership options, expand rental availability, and enhance housing supports for Nunavummiut at every stage of life.

These efforts are underpinned by collaboration with Inuit organizations, municipalities, the private and not for proﬁt sectors, and other levels of government. Together, we are on track toward our shared goal: 3,000 new housing units by 2030. While much remains to be done, the progress outlined in this report demonstrates that innovative approaches, strategic partnerships, and steadfast commitment are yielding tangible results. The Board of Directors thanks Nunavummiut for their trust and continued support.

We remain committed to advancing solutions that reﬂect the unique needs of our territory and to achieving even greater milestones in the years ahead. Sincerely, John Apt Chairperson, NHC Board of Directors Annie Aningmiuq, John Hussey, Allan Rumbolt, Derek Elias, Peter Tapatai, Emma Pauloosie Board of Directors

Nunavut 3000 is producing outcomes we can be proud of. Let’s keep going – together.“ “ Eiryn Devereaux, President & CEO of Nunavut Housing Corporation

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 9 Momentum, Milestones and a Clear Path Forward I’m proud to share our progress in this year’s Annual Report and reﬂect on the real, measurable strides we’ve made together to realize the vision of Nunavut 3000, a plan to deliver 3,000 new homes across the territory by 2030. We’re now just three years in, and momentum is building. With 855 residential units and 134 supported housing units completed or underway, roughly one third of Nunavut 3000’s target is in sight. This progress signals more than just numbers— it marks a shift in what’s possible.

This is a pivotal moment for the Nunavut Housing Corporation. With six building seasons remaining, our path is clearer, our strategy sharper, and our purpose stronger. In 2024 alone, 314 new housing starts were recorded by the Ofﬁce of the Chief Building Ofﬁcial—bringing us closer to our target of 325–350 annual average starts needed to stay on track. But Nunavut 3000 is about more than just construction. It’s about transforming how housing is delivered in our territory.

We’re: • Strengthening capacity through Inuit-led contracts and partnerships to reduce costs and increase supply. • Investing in trades training and apprenticeship opportunities for Inuit. • Enhancing local housing services and ensuring fair, needs-based allocation of public housing. • Launching digital tools to improve service for tenants and staff alike. • Collaborating with communities to improve land readiness and infrastructure planning. This transformation is happening during a time of both opportunity and constraint, but we remain committed to delivering real change.

By the time Nunavut 3000 is complete, we won’t just have built more homes—we’ll have strengthened communities, expanded economic opportunity, and created new path ways for Nunavummiut to move from public housing to renting or homeowner ship. These are outcomes we can all be proud of. Let’s keep going—together. Sincerely, Eiryn Devereaux President & CEO, Nunavut Housing Corporation MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 15 NHC OFFICES NHC is led by the President & CEO, who is responsible for the Corporation’s strategic direction and daily operations, supported by an executive team that includes three Vice Presidents—Finance and Corporate Services, Infrastructure, and Operations— as well as the Executive Director of Programs and the Director of Policy, Strategic Planning, and Communications.

Corporate leadership and decision-making are guided by the Corporate Executive Committee (CEC), which brings together these senior leaders to ensure coordinated planning, accountability, and alignment across all areas of the organization. NHC employs approximately 128 professional and administrative staff in its ofﬁces. This includes the Directorate in Iqaluit, the Headquarters in Arviat and District Ofﬁces in Arviat, Cambridge Bay and Kinngait. The Directorate has overall accountability for the performance of the organization and leads operations across Nunavut.

It develops long-range strategies, policies, and operational guidelines on corporate matters for the Board of Directors, the Minister responsible for NHC and Cabinet. It ensures consistency in policy application and program delivery, as well as managing NHC’s funding agreements. It also holds most of NHC’s central internal services, including policy, planning, communications, ﬁnance, human resources, procurement, information technology, real property and occupational health and safety.

The Headquarters provides direction and guidance to the District Ofﬁces in support of delivering and measuring housing programs, contracting, project management, technical design and maintenance. The District Ofﬁces deliver various housing programs and services to Nunavummiut. This includes managing agreements with Local Housing Organizations (LHOs) to allocate and maintain public housing inventory. The District Ofﬁces also set regional priorities and monitor the construction program in their regions.

LOCAL HOUSING ORGANIZATIONS NHC relies on its partnerships with LHOs to deliver public and staff housing services and maintain housing inventory in each of the territory’s 25 communities. LHOs also provide valuable insight into community priorities, housing needs, and operational challenges.

LHO FACTS • LHOs are distinct, independent organizations with their own Boards of Directors, Bylaws, accounting systems, and local staff. • Each LHO signs a Management Agreement with NHC committing to meet the business requirements for allocating public housing to Nunavummiut and maintaining public housing inventory in their municipalities. • Nineteen LHOs are Housing Associations formed under The Societies Act with elected Board members.

Six LHOs are Housing Authorities formed under The Nunavut Housing Corporation Act and have Boards appointed by the Minister responsible for NHC. • Sixteen of the LHOs are also unionized and have distinct Collective Agreements. LHO responsibilities include receiving and assessing public housing applications, maintaining public housing waitlists, allocating public housing units using the point-rating system, collecting rent from tenants and maintaining and modernizing units in accordance with the NHC’s policies and procedures.

NHC is accountable for regularly monitoring and assessing the operations of LHOs to ensure that they deliver the NHC’s public housing program effectively and in accordance with established policies and procedures provided by the NHC. NHC has undertaken a comprehensive review of the LHO model for providing housing services and maintaining housing inventory to determine ways for housing delivery to be improved. This review included consultation sessions with key stakeholders in each community and with housing sector partners to ﬁnd opportunities for improvement.

The information gathered through this process is being used to inform a future service delivery model for public and staff housing. The recently released OAG report highlights the need for NHC to strengthen monitoring and oversight of LHOs to ensure that Nunavummiut receive equitable access to suitable public housing and that housing inventory is maintained to an adequate standard. 16 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 LHOs are distinct, independent organizations with their own Boards of Directors, Bylaws, chart of accounts, and local staff.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 17 Our partner Local Housing Authorities have an Inuit Employment rate of 80%. To meet these obligations, stafﬁng strategies include encouraging adherence to the Priority Hiring Policy, implementing restricted competitions, making direct appointments, assigning acting and transfer roles, and utilizing casual employment to strengthen Inuit workforce participation. As of March 31st, 2025, NHC’s overall capacity stands at 80% with 103 of 128 positions ﬁlled.

The total number of Inuit employees has increased from 42 in 2023/24 to 43 in 2024/25 and NHC’s Inuit Employment rate is 42%. Total number of Inuit employees stands at 56 including an additional 13 Inuit staff employed on a casual basis. Our partner Local Housing Authorities have an Inuit Employment rate of 80% - the combined Inuit employment rate with NHC and LHOs stands at 70%. Recognizing that our people are our greatest asset—and that it is their talent and dedication that drives our organization forward—we are committed to fostering an inclusive and empowering environment.

Our initiatives in succession planning and summer student employment-equity underscore this commitment, striving to nurture leadership, create meaningful opportunities, and build a workforce that mirrors and serves our community. To support succession planning, NHC is providing Inuit staff with exposure to management positions through on-the-job training and acting assignments. In 2024/25 NHC advanced 8 direct appointments, 5 internships, 2 internal transfer assignments, 10 Acting assignments and 4 training programs for Inuit employees.

Supporting training and development opportunities is an investment in strengthening NHC’s leadership capacity to serve Nunavummiut. The Summer Student Employment Equity Program provides opportunities for Nunavummiut students to gain meaningful work experience and training in the public service. When hiring summer students, priority is given to Nunavut Inuit. INUIT EMPLOYMENT NHC re-afﬁrms its commitment to fulﬁlling its role under the Nunavut

Article 23 Agreement, aimed at promoting and increasing the employment of Inuit within our organization.

HOUSING INVENTORY NHC works with its network of LHOs to manage 5,934 public housing units and 1,721 staff housing units across 25 communities dispersed over three regions covering nearly 2 million square kilometres. As of March 31st, 2025, NHC’s portfolio of public housing units was valued at approximately $828.5 million. Most of the funding for operational and capital expenses of the public housing program comes from the Government of Nunavut and the Government of Canada.

NHC’s operating expenditures for managing and maintaining public housing inventory from 2022–23 to 2024–25 averaged approximately $248 million annually. NHC’s capital expenditures for its public housing units for the same period averaged $82 million each year. 18 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 NHC’s portfolio of public housing units was valued at approximately $828.5 million.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 19 NHC’s investments in the technology that will enable its growth will support stronger local housing service delivery. Over the past year, NHC has taken steps to modernize its Information Technology (IT) environment in support of both day-to-day operations and the transformative goals of Nunavut 3000. As NHC expands its programs and housing delivery across all 25 communities, a reliable, secure, and scalable IT infrastructure is essential.

NHC’s investments in the technology that will enable its growth will support stronger local housing service delivery, better tools for staff, and improved access to housing services for Nunavummiut.

STRATEGIC PLANNING AND INVESTMENT In 2024, NHC launched a multi-phase IT strategy that includes: • Upgrading core systems across LHOs to improve service integration and data management. • Migrating the organization’s network infrastructure to Microsoft Azure to enhance cybersecurity, cloud-based collaboration, and system resilience. • Deploying Starlink satellite internet and structured cabling to improve connectivity in remote locations. • Expanding business analytics capabilities through Power BI integration. • Rolling out digital tools to support property management, lease tracking, and asset planning.

These projects are guided by business needs, user engagement, and a clear governance model aligned with NHC’s operational and strategic priorities. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY NHC has a number of signiﬁcant IT projects underway to improve operations and service delivery.

20 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 SECURING AND SCALING THE IT ENVIRONMENT Recognizing the rapid increase in IT service demands, NHC has also strengthened its internal IT team. Three new regional positions have been added in Cambridge Bay, Arviat, and Kinngait to provide frontline support to LHOs and district ofﬁces. These roles are critical to ensuring consistent, territory-wide IT services in the face of increasing cybersecurity threats and the growing complexity of NHC’s digital environment. MODERN TOOLS FOR MODERN HOUSING NHC’s investments in IT are not only technical—they are strategic.

By modernizing the digital foundation of the organization, NHC is better positioned to deliver on its housing mandate, streamline operations, and enhance the experience of clients, staff, and partners. Technology is enabling the transformation of housing in Nunavut—ensuring that Nunavut 3000 is not just a construction initiative, but a digitally connected, data- informed strategy for sustainable housing growth.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 21 The goal of Nunavut 3000 is to leverage the capacity of NHC. These plans align to provide a cohesive strategy to improve housing conditions in the territory. NHC BUSINESS PLAN NHC submits an annual business plan to the GN as part of the government’s strategic and ﬁnancial planning process.

NHC’s business plan aims to support the following objectives: • Making it easier for Nunavummiut to access NHC’s programs and services through increased tenant/client engagement, education, training, strategic partnerships and digital delivery. • Introducing a new service delivery model that will change how NHC delivers its programs and services in all communities. • Continuing to acquire, maintain, repair, rebuild, and construct public housing across the territory. • Improving the performance of NHC programs and services through regular business planning and measurement, as well as targeted program evaluation. • Engaging NHC partners, stakeholders and employees in the work to expand the housing continuum in Nunavut to include all types of housing, including affordable and market housing for rent or homeownership.

ALIGNING STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS NHC is committed to transforming the housing sector in Nunavut through three supporting business activities: NHC’s Business Plans; the Nunavut 3000 Strategy; and an Action Plan, which is being ﬁnalized in response to a performance audit report submitted by the Ofﬁce of the Auditor General of Canada to the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut in May 2025.

NUNAVUT 3000 Nunavut 3000, also called Building Houses Together or Igluliuqatigiingniq, is a collaborative strategy led by NHC to expand the territory’s housing continuum. The goal of Nunavut 3000 is to leverage the capacity of NHC and other housing sector stakeholders to deliver 3,000 new units across the housing continuum by 2030. 22 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 The mandate for an expanded housing continuum comes from the Government of Nunavut’s 6th Assembly Katujjiluta Mandate and the resulting Nunavut 3000 Strategy developed by NHC.

Accelerating housing supply is a key tenet of the strategy, but there are other tenets that are important as well.

Nunavut 3000 is intended to transform Nunavut’s housing ecosystem and create pathways for Nuna vum miut to participate in it as tenants, home owners, learners, workers and business owners. designing and building housing land planning and management new and renewed programs strategic partnership and engagement community housing affordable housing The following graphic represents the vision for Nunavut’s expanded housing continuum: Homeless Emergency Shelters Transitional Housing Public Housing Affordable Rental Housing Affordable Home Ownership Market Rental Housing Market Home Ownership Elder and Senior Housing The implementation of Nunavut 3000 includes six key areas of activity:

2025 PERFORMANCE AUDIT BY THE OFFICE OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL During the year, the Nunavut Housing Corporation (NHC) continued its participation in a performance audit conducted by the Ofﬁce of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG). In response to the OAG’s reported ﬁndings and recommendations, NHC is ﬁnalizing an Action Plan to strengthen public housing delivery across the territory.

NHC HOUSING PRINCIPLES • Equitable Access Fair access to public housing units as determined by NHC’s point-rating system which directs Local Housing Organizations (LHOs) to allocate public housing units to those with the greatest need. • Suitable Housing Housing that has enough bedrooms for the size and makeup of the household according to the National Occupancy Standard (NOS), a common reference of how many people can be accommodated by a dwelling given the number of bedrooms. • Adequate Housing Housing that meets the basic needs of its occupants including security, privacy, space, lighting, ventilation, basic infrastructure in good condition and proximity to public services and employment. 24 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 NHC Housing Principles: • Equitable Access • Suitable Housing • Adequate Housing

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 25 NHC hopes to contribute to an annual territorial average of approximately 325 to 350 new housing starts per year. • Northern build designs, timely land leases and innovative procurement methods that improve how NHC contracts for public and affordable housing construction. • Inﬂuencing community stakeholders to create community development plans, prepare land for housing construction, manage the availability of granular supply and provide stewardship for land development funds. • Developing a Renewable, Sustainability and Asset Lifecycle Planning Strategy to improve its management of the adequacy of government-owned housing stock in the Arctic climate. • Promoting the annual Nunavut Housing Supply Challenge asking individuals, communities and housing sector stakeholders to make expressions of interest for delivering new housing supply through collaboration and innovation.

NUNAVUT 3000 PROGRESS Since the start of the 6th Assembly in 2021, 855 new residential housing units have been completed or are currently in construction. Within the same timeframe, approximately 134 supported housing beds have been completed or are in construction. Together, these numbers account for approximately 85 per cent of the Katujjiluta Mandate goal of 1,000 housing units by late 2025 and represent approximately 33 per cent of the overall Nunavut 3000 target of 3,000 units by December 2030.

Data provided by the Ofﬁce of the Chief Building Ofﬁcial (OCBO) shows there were 314 new housing starts in 2024, a signiﬁcant achievement over prior years where the annual new building starts were in the range of 150 units. NHC hopes to contribute to an annual territorial average of approximately 325 to 350 new housing starts through the remaining building seasons to 2030. DESIGNING & BUILDING HOUSING The objective of Designing & Building Housing within Nunavut 3000 focuses on:

Chronic overcrowding, limited space and inadequate ventilation contribute directly to serious health issues, and sustain an environment where Nuna - vut has the highest rates of tuberculosis in Canada. Access to safe, stable housing is essential for all Nunavummiut, regardless of income. That’s why NHC has made public housing a top priority under the Nunavut 3000 strategy.

With a target of 1,400 new public housing units by 2030, NHC is taking concrete steps to reduce housing insecurity, strengthen community resilience and close the equity gap in one of Canada’s most underserved regions. 258 COMPLETED UNITS* *Includes 18 units in Iqaluit donated by city of Iqaluit

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 27 Up to March 31, 2025, approximately 258 new public housing units have been completed since the start of the 6th Assembly — a tangible sign of progress. Each new home built under this initiative is not only a roof over someone’s head, but a vital step toward wellness, opportunity and a stronger future for Nunavut.

MEASURING & REPORTING PROGRESS NHC measures Nunavut 3000 progress by: • counting residential housing in construction (building permits) and housing units completed (occupancy permits) • including all units developed by any individual, organization or government agency (not only units delivered by NHC) • tracking units since the start of the 6th Assembly in November 2021, and • using third-party data released annually by the Ofﬁce of the Chief Building Ofﬁcial (OCBO) in the Department of Community Services.

NHC reports on the Nunavut 3000 goal to develop 1,400 public housing units by: • counting public housing in construction (building permits) and public housing units completed (occupancy permits) since the beginning of the 6th Assembly • tracking the progress of public housing developments through the phases from procurement, construction and completion, and • releasing an annual Progress Report on NHC construction activities.

DELIVERING HOMES, BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS: ADVANCING HOUSING ACROSS NUNAVUT NHC continues to work with a growing network of partners to deliver innovative, community-focused housing solutions that reﬂect local needs and accelerate the construction of much-needed homes across the territory. From modular housing to student accommodations and Inuit- centered design, NHC’s partnerships are helping deliver more homes—faster, smarter and with greater impact. INDUSTRY PARTNERS • NCC Development (NCCD) Ltd.

In 2024, NHC and NCCD signed Annual Allocation and Purchase Agreements for design-build contracts to develop 166 new housing units in 17 Nunavut communities – 146 public housing units and 20 staff housing units.

28 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 • Pewapun Construction In May 2024, NHC, the Nunavut Arctic College (NAC) and Pewapun Construction launched a pilot project in Rankin Inlet to build affordable student housing while providing trades training for local students. The project is adding new housing units while giving students real-world construction experience. The success of this model has inspired plans to expand the initiative into more communities. Pewapun Construction is a social enterprise founded by the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation in Manitoba.

With a mission to create sustainable livelihoods for Indigenous people, Pewapun combines training, education, and employment to build stronger futures and stronger communities. Pewapun provided a $3m investment in the form of material packages for 6 new student housing units in Rankin Inlet.

Construction of these 6 units is being undertaken by students from Nunavut Arctic College’s Trades School. 8 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 88 8 8 8 8 12 12 66 6 6 6 16 2020 Construction commenced in these communities Chester ﬁeld Inlet Clyde River Coral Harbour Grise Fiord IgloolikKimmirutKinngaitKugaarukKugluktukNaujaat Pangnirtung Pond Inlet Resolute BayQikiqtarquaq SanirajakSanikituaqWhale Cove The total contract value is $134,728,616 – approximately $705 per square foot in hard construction costs.

In addition, NCCD was contracted to deliver 2 modular housing units across 17 communities for a total of 34 additional housing units. This represents year two of the 10-year partnership between NHC and NCCD. In year one (2023/24), NCCD commenced construction on 150 new public housing units across 8 communities as well as an additional 22 modular housing units.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 29 MODULAR PARTNERS NHC is using modular construction to help achieve its goal of adding 3,000 housing units of all types to the territory by 2030. This includes staff housing, transitional housing and temporary housing for construction workers. These units can be ready for occupancy within a single season, often much sooner than traditional stick build construction. The use of modular housing units constructed to national standards provides high-quality, cost- effective housing and accelerates housing construction.

The units are built to meet Nunavut’s Building Code requirements. NHC’s ﬁrst partnership with a modular provider was in 2023 with Sakku Innovative Building Solutions (SIBS) with the acquisition of 22 new modular housing units across 11 Nunavut communities. The modular units occupied by construction workers will be converted to public housing, staff housing or supported housing upon completion of the public housing multiplex construction projects. In 2024, NHC leveraged its partnership agreement with NCC Development (NCCD) to acquire 34 modular units valued at approximately $30 million.

In 2025, NHC plans to use modular construction to deliver 54 new housing units across the territory, an investment of approximately $40 million in Nunavut’s housing continuum. These units are planned for delivery in the communities of Arviat, Baker Lake, Cambridge Bay, Clyde River, Gjoa Haven, Grise Fiord, Igloolik, Kugaaruk, Rankin Inlet and Taloyoak. NHC has awarded the master installation agreements tendered in 2024 to these ﬁrms: • Arctic Modular Homes is a specialist in Arctic housing development. This ﬁrm will deliver nine modular units.

It completed two modular pilot projects in Cambridge Bay in 2021 and 2022 under its parent company CHOU Consulting & Development Inc. • Caivan Communities is a homebuilder operating in Ottawa and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Ontario. This ﬁrm is delivering 15 modular units. • NL Modular is a specialist in modular housing operating out of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. This ﬁrm is delivering 20 modular units. • RCM Modular Solutions is a specialist in modular construction operating out of Saint-Benoît-Labre, Québec. This ﬁrm is delivering 10 modular units.

By working together with organizations who share a commitment to housing, training, and community development, NHC is driving real progress toward the goals of Nunavut 3000: delivering 3,000 new homes, strengthening local capacity, and ensuring every Nunavummiut has access to a safe, healthy, and affordable place to call home.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 31 NHC’s partnerships are helping deliver more homes — faster, smarter and with greater impact. COMMUNITY VISITS In 2023 and 2024, a team of delegates from NHC and its partners, including the GN Department of (then) Community and Government Services (CGS), NCC Development (NCCD) and the Land for Homes (L4H) initiative, engaged all communities in Nunavut to strengthen relationships and learn about local priorities, land readiness, barriers to development and municipal capacity, among other topics.

Seventeen communities were visited in 2023 and 10 were visited in 2024. One of the important outcomes of these visits was choosing land for public housing units to be developed in 2024, 2025 and 2026 with an eye to ensuring any land or community readiness gaps were ﬁlled prior to ongoing development in 2027 and beyond. In this project area, NHC also participates in the Land for Homes initiative in collaboration with Nunavut Association of Municipalities (NAM) and its members, Regional Inuit Associations and Regional Inuit Development Corporations, and the Government of Nunavut Department of Community Services.

LAND PLANNING & MANAGEMENT In the Land Planning & Management area of Nunavut 3000, NHC works closely with stakeholders to reduce barriers to housing development that are rooted in land readiness, granular supply and community planning. This project area also provides support for the selection of land for NHC-planned construction of public, staff and affordable housing units. Barriers to planned projects are identiﬁed and mitigated to smooth the way for construction.

32 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 HOUSING ACCELERATOR FUND NHC supported 17 municipalities in Nunavut to make submissions to the Government of Canada’s Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF), which provided funding to the communities to improve land readiness for housing development. NAM is supporting the municipalities in delivering the projects and meeting the requirements of the funding.

In this area, NHC works with its partners and stakeholders in other human services departments, Inuit associations and community organizations to accelerate the development of housing for community groups who experience housing insecurity, such as Elders, women, youth and people with disabilities. LAND FOR HOMES The Land for Homes Initiative (L4H) is a collaborative partnership between Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI), Nunavut Association of Municipalities (NAM) and NHC.

The partners have worked together since 2023 to strengthen collaboration, identify land-related barriers and improve access to the essential knowledge needed for coordinated action and investment. In many Nunavut communities, a lack of suitable build-ready lots remains a key risk to the accelerated and diversiﬁed housing supply needed to address the territory’s housing crisis. In 2024-25, L4H developed a new suite of land management resources purposefully designed for Nunavut’s land and housing partners involved in the planning, preparation, administration, assessment and selection of suitable land for homes.

The resources were designed to ensure land and housing partners had access to information to help them make informed decisions related to municipal land management. These resources include a centralized L4H Knowledgebase, community land supply gap assessments, over one hundred lot- speciﬁc development readiness assessments, land supply and selection guides, and a suite of digital tools to assist with land inventory, lot identiﬁcation, land data collection and assessment.

In addition to the three project partners, key contributors have included the three Regional Inuit Associations, the three Regional Inuit Development Corporations, local municipalities, and the Government of Nunavut’s Department of Community and Government Services. The work of the L4H partnership was funded through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Housing Supply Challenge Round 3 (Northern Access Round). The L4H resources are available on the L4H website (landforhomes.ca).

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 33 Between November 2021 and March 31, 2025, facilities for 134 supported housing beds have been completed or have started construction. SUPPORTED HOUSING WORKING GROUP NHC participates in the Supported Housing Working Group with the GN departments of Family Services, Health, Justice, Community Services and Finance, as well as community partners from NTI and other non-proﬁt organizations. Together, the partners seek new ways to create the conditions for sustainable supported housing to be developed, operated and maintained.

Ongoing work includes coordinating engagement and consultation with housing sector stakeholders, including NTI, Regional Inuit Associations (RIAs), non-proﬁt housing organizations, municipalities and the federal government. SUPPORTED HOUSING CAPITAL PROGRAM NHC launched the Supported Housing Capital Program in 2024. It offers community organizations capital funding to help with the construction of transitional housing units, shelters, homes for Elders and other supportive housing units.

The Supported Housing Capital Program offers eligible projects up to $150,000 per housing unit through a forgivable loan with a minimum ten-year term. Eligible projects can access: • $100,000 per Single Room Occupancy (SRO) unit or bed; and/or • $150,000 per self-contained unit. Community organizations can also receive ﬁnancial support to prepare their supported housing project plans through the Nunalingni Piruqpaalirut Fund (NP Fund) available through the Community Housing Transformation Centre.

COMMUNITY HOUSING In the Community Housing area of Nunavut 3000, NHC seeks to create conditions for accelerated development of supported housing projects. These are housing units or beds for people who need support to live independently, such as Elders, seniors, women, youth, people with disabilities or those experiencing homelessness.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 35 NUNALINGNI PIRUQPAALIRUT FUND NHC and the Community Housing and Transformation Centre (the Centre) in Montréal, Québec, signed a Partnership Agreement to support the growth of the community housing sector as part of Nunavut 3000. The partnership brings together the expertise of NHC and the Centre with the objective to build the capacity of the community housing sector in Nunavut by sharing and leveraging resources aimed at expanding, empowering and supporting non-proﬁt organizations.

Central to the Partnership Agreement is the establishment of the $1.36 million Nunalingni Piruqpaalirut Fund (NP Fund), meaning Growth in our Land. The fund is designed to support entities with an affordable housing idea, project or initiative, enabling them to move to the next stage and bring it to fruition. Eligible projects are able to apply for a grant under the following funding streams: Capacity Building, Planning and Pre- Development, Research and Innovation.

As of March 31, 2025, twenty-one NP Fund applications had been created with 12 submitted, and ﬁve approved, each receiving $50,000 in funding, so a total of $250,000 approved projects and an additional two projects were with the Selection Committee. In total, $575,000 has been requested from all three regions in Nunavut. SUPPORTED HOUSING PROJECTS Nunavut 3000 includes a target for 300 supported housing beds, 10 per cent of the overall goal to develop 3,000 units.

The Nunavut 3000 goal of 300 supported housing beds will be achieved through the commitment of Government of Nunavut departments including Family Services, Health, Justice, as well as Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, Inuit associations, and community organizations and municipalities such as the Kitikmeot Friendship Society, YWCA, Uquutaq Society, the Hamlet of Kugluktuk and the Hamlet of Pond Inlet. Between November 2021 and March 31, 2025, facilities for 134 supported housing beds have been completed or have started construction.

This represents 45 per cent of the supported housing goal for 300 new beds by 2030. 45% of the supported housing goal for 300 new beds by 2030 has been achieved.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 37 NHC focuses on building and sustaining partnerships that directly increase housing supply or create the conditions for it to grow. Expanding the housing continuum and enhancing housing services requires coordinated action, aligned priorities and shared investment from all partners and stakeholders in Nunavut’s housing sector. Nunavut 3000 is collaborative by design, calling on everyone engaged in the human services, housing and economic develop - ment sectors in Nunavut to consider how they can contribute to expanding the housing continuum.

To support collaboration, NHC hosted Housing Forums in 2023 and 2025 to bring housing sector stakeholders together to ﬁnd innovative solutions to accelerate housing supply in the territory. KITIKMEOT INUIT ASSOCIATION (KIA) In May 2024, NHC and KIA launched the Nunavut Pathway to Homeownership Pilot Program. This initiative provides Inuit families with a structured path to homeownership, addressing the need for long-term, stable housing solutions.

Through this program, selected families will rent a unit in a newly constructed four plex while participating in a three-year ﬁnancial literacy and homeownership skills training program. Once they complete the program, eligible participants will have the option to purchase a home, supported by a grant of up to $30,000. The initial pilot cohort consists of four Inuit families from Cambridge Bay. STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS & ENGAGEMENT NHC focuses on building and sustaining partnerships that directly increase housing supply or create the conditions for it to grow.

38 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 CANADA HOUSING AND TRANSFORMATION CENTRE (THE CENTRE) In April 2023, NHC and the Centre formed a strategic partnership to strengthen Nunavut’s community housing sector. This collaboration supports non-proﬁt housing organizations by providing ﬁnancial resources, training and technical expertise. A key outcome of this partnership is the creation of the Nunalingni Piruqpaalirut (Growth in Our Land) Fund which offers $1.3 million in funding to help organizations advance affordable housing projects.

The Centre is a national non-proﬁt organization founded in 2018 with expertise and experience in delivering programs that support community housing nationwide. The Centre is motivated by the prospect of building on existing expertise, networks, and resources to drive transformation, sustainability and growth. NUNAVUT TUNNGAVIK INCORPORATED (NTI) AND NUNAVUT ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPALITIES (NAM) NHC partners with NTI and NAM on the Land for Homes Initiative (L4H). Housing development depends not only on funding and construction but also on the availability of suitable land.

Through L4H, the partners work to support land planning, preparation and allocation for housing projects. This initiative is critical in addressing land shortages, which can delay or limit housing development in many communities. NUNAVUT ARCTIC COLLEGE (NAC) NHC has a longstanding partnership with NAC to strengthen Nunavut’s skilled trades workforce, ensuring that local residents have the training and qualiﬁcations needed to support the territory’s growing housing sector.

Together, they seek to train Nunavummiut in essential construction trades, ultimately reducing reliance on ﬂy-in/ﬂy-out labour and building a self- sufﬁcient workforce within the territory. This partnership is expanding to include the Department of Family Services with a focus on trades training and apprenticeship as part of new plans for workforce development.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 39 NHC will continue to design and redesign programs that improve Nunavummiut participation in an expanded housing continuum. NEW HOUSING CONTACT LINE FOR NON-EMERGENCIES Accessing information about housing programs and services in Nunavut became easier in 2024 thanks to the new Housing Contact Line that was announced at the end of 2023-24. Nunavummiut across Canada can call 1-844-413-9355 and NHC phone operators in Arviat will assist callers in ﬁnding the right person to help with housing-related questions.

Callers can currently receive service in Inuktitut and English. In 2024-25, NHC received 260 calls and inquiries, related to Public Housing, Home owner ship and Staff Housing. NEW & RENEWED PROGRAMS In April 2024, NHC announced a modernized suite of housing programs to support the goals of Nunavut 3000 to expand the housing continuum and provide Nunavummiut with more pathways to participate in the territory’s housing market as renters and homeowners. NHC will continue to design and redesign programs that improve Nunavummiut participation in an expanded housing continuum.

This includes the public housing program, which is being enhanced through planned policy renewal, a new service delivery model, information technology systems enablement, and client-facing digital tools. NUNAVUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUPPLY INCENTIVE (NAHSI) Launched in April 2024, the NAHSI is a new program designed to encourage residential housing developers to consider affordable housing projects through a capital contribution.

40 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 To incentivize the development of afford - able units for rent or sale, NAHSI provides capital in the form of 10-year forgivable loans of $150,000 for each eligible unit, including single family dwellings, residential multiplexes, con dominiums, cooperatives and modular homes. Eligible applicants include Inuit organizations, private sector housing developers and builders, municipalities, and non-proﬁt organizations who seek to create affordable housing in Nunavut.

NUNAVUT HOMEOWNERSHIP ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (NHAP) The NHAP is one of the territory’s ﬁrst programs introduced under Nunavut 3000 to increase housing choices for Nunavummiut. This program encourages those who are interested in homeownership to pursue it, with the added beneﬁts of learning about homeownership and gaining new skills through the process. NHAP gives eligible Nunavummiut a forgivable $250,000 loan and homeownership support to purchase and construct an approved building materials package.

NHAP ensures culturally relevant housing choices are included in the expansion of the housing continuum, while also revitalizing core community areas and helping families to create their own legacy within their communities. NUNAVUT DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (NDAP) The NDAP was redesigned in 2024 as part of Nunavut 3000. It assists eligible Nunavummiut with between $15,000 and $80,000 for a down payment to purchase a new or existing home. The amount of the loan is determined based on income and is forgiven over a 10-year period if all requirements are met.

Previously capped at $30,000, the increase in ﬁnancial assistance up to $80,000 aims to better assist Nunavummiut in becoming homeowners, as part of NHC’s revitalized suite of homeownership programs. ELDERS HOUSING PROGRAM (EHP) The EHP, renewed through Nunavut 3000, provides personalized counselling and ﬁnancial support to give Elders, seniors and people with disabilities more choices for suitable housing. The program can help Elders, seniors and people with disabilities to maintain their homes and make improvements for accessibility or aging in place.

The program also offers homeownership counselling to support Elders and other participants to make informed choices about homeownership or moving to other housing options. Program participants can receive: • An annual grant of up to $5,000 to cover the preventative maintenance of appliances, heating, plumbing, electrical systems and minor maintenance.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 41 • A one-time grant of up to $30,000 for repairs and renovations that support continued homeownership, including accessibility improvements, equipment installation and specialized modiﬁcations. Elders and other eligible participants can combine supports from the EHP, which is not income-based, with NHC’s Home Renovation Program (HRP) and Emergency Repair Program (ERP). Homeowners aged 60 or older may receive up to $30,000 through EHP. HRP and ERP funding amounts are determined by household income, and when combined with EHP, eligible Nunavummiut may access signiﬁcant ﬁnancial support for home repairs and renovations in a single year.

HOME RENOVATION PROGRAM (HRP) The HRP assists Nunavummiut who own and occupy their own home to undertake major repairs or renovations. Through HRP, NHC will provide successful applicants with a one-time loan to a maximum of $100,000 forgivable over 10 years for planned renovations or repairs. This loan can be used to cover the cost of materials, freight and labour. Approved projects are prioritized based on the type of renovation or repairs. The highest priority is given to projects that involve resolving health, safety, accessibility or suitability issues.

HRP participants will also receive program and technical assistance from NHC before and during the construction process. Nunavummiut can also apply for an HRP rebate for 50 per cent of eligible costs up to $20,000 for renovations or repairs they have already completed. 42 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 NHC’s partnerships are helping deliver more homes — faster, smarter and with greater impact. EMERGENCY REPAIR PROGRAM (ERP) The ERP assists homeowners to undertake urgent repairs that pose an imminent threat to health and safety in the home where they live.

Through ERP, you can receive a grant of up to $15,000. The grant can be used for the costs of materials, labour and freight. Homeowners can apply for the grant before starting the work or within 14 days of completing it. There is no guarantee that a grant will be awarded for emergency repairs. The ERP can be combined with NHC’s Home Renovation Program (HRP), which offers a forgivable loan of up to $100,000 based on household income. Clients earning between $0 and $125,000 annually may qualify for support, allowing eligible Nunavummiut to access signiﬁcant funding for home repairs and renovations.

NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 43 Nunavut 3000 is an opportunity to train Nunavummiut across the territory and grow a skilled, local workforce ready to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. In 2024, NHC continued its collaboration with the Nunavut Arctic College and the Government of Nunavut’s Department of Family Services to develop homegrown trades talent through hands-on, real-world training opportunities embedded in local housing projects. These partnerships are helping Inuit gain valuable skills, build sustainable careers and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

NUNAVUT 3000 IN ACTION: REAL PROJECTS, REAL IMPACT • Community-Based Skills Training Through the NCCD partnership, tailored training programs are delivered in the communities where homes are being built. Between April 2023 and March 31, 2025, has created approximately 110 training opportunities for Inuit, with roughly 60 individuals completing the program—and over 50% securing employment as a result.

This means more Nunavummiut are entering the trades with the skills and conﬁdence to succeed. • Workforce Development through Strategic Partnerships In April 2024, NHC partnered with Birchcliff Development to deliver 24 new affordable homes on Iqaluit’s beachfront. This project was intentionally designed to offer training opportunities for Inuit, resulting in approximately 25% Inuit labour participation. Birchcliff has committed to retaining successful trainees for future projects—ensuring continuity and long- term impact.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Nunavut 3000 is an opportunity to train Nunavummiut across the territory and grow a skilled, local workforce ready to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. By aligning construction activity with strategic workforce development, Nunavut 3000 can be leveraged to increase the number of local pre-apprentices, apprentices and skilled tradespeople.

44 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 • Innovative Approaches to Student Housing In May 2024, NHC joined forces with Pewapun Construction—a social enterprise founded by the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation—to expand affordable student housing in Rankin Inlet while simultaneously offering trades training to Nunavut Arctic College students. Construction of six new student units is already underway and set for completion in fall 2025. • Expanding the Student Trades Training Program Across Nunavut In 2025, the student construction model will grow further.

NHC and Pewapun Construction will develop six additional units in Rankin Inlet, while a new partnership with Arctic Fresh Projects Inc. will bring six more units to Igloolik. These projects ensure that trades training is not just a one-time beneﬁt, but an ongoing investment in Nunavut’s workforce. • Embedding Long-Term Capacity into Contracts To ensure sustained growth in local skills and capacity, NHC is integrating training and local labour participation requirements into relevant tenders, agreements, and contracts.

This policy shift helps ensure that every housing project contributes not just to infrastructure—but to workforce resilience and community well-being. PEWAPUN PROJECT In May 2024, NHC joined with Nunavut Arctic College (NAC), Atoskiwin Training and Employment Centre Inc. (ATEC) and Pewapun Construction Limited to sign a partnership agreement for a new affordable housing pilot project. The project will increase the supply of affordable student housing while also providing additional trades training opportunities for NAC students.

The project’s construction includes six new three-bedroom affordable housing units for student families in Rankin Inlet, slated for occupancy by fall 2025. Pewapun is supplying $3 million in materials and specialized support during construction, while the units are being built by students and instructors in NAC’s skilled trades worker programs. The initiative will provide a blueprint for additional pilot programs moving forward. By supporting students through on-the-job training, such programs can expand Nunavut’s skilled workforce and extend housing solutions to communities throughout the territory.

Pewapun Construction Limited is a social enterprise created in 2016 by the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation in Manitoba as a sister company to the ATEC. Pewapun’s aim is to create sustainable livelihoods for Indigenous people by providing training, education, employment, and self-employment opportunities.

The chart below shows each community’s housing need, measured using each community’s public housing need as a percentage of its existing public housing stock. For example, if a community with a public housing waiting list of 1,000 units currently has a stock of 2,500 units, its housing need as a percentage of stock is 40 per cent (1,000/2,500).

In the chart, communities with a relative housing need above 40 per cent have the most critical need for public housing, while those below 30 per cent have a comparatively less severe need. Please note that these ﬁgures exclusively consider public housing and do not include staff housing, private rentals, and other housing stock within each community.

Compensation costs increased $3.1 million - also in support of Nunavut 3000 projects.

The Corporation completed the roll-out of the new asset management system; continues to address the AR and Collections tracking at the LHOs and is in the process of implementing a new tenant management system. Internet service system improvement projects across all communities have been completed and hardware equipment upgrades continue to be prioritized.

Funding for these projects is sourced both from the Government of Nunavut's capital budget and through federal contributions under the National Housing Strategy. This approach ensures a data-driven allocation of resources, focusing development efforts where housing shortages are most acute. Over time, the continued application of relative need as the guiding methodology for construction is anticipated to incrementally reduce disparities in housing availability across all Nunavut communities, supporting the broader objective of equitable access to appropriate and affordable housing throughout the territory.

50 NUNAVUT HOUSING CORPORATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025 RENT SCALE IN PUBLIC HOUSING NHC wants to charge public housing tenants an affordable rent. • The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation deﬁnes an affordable rent as being less than 30 per cent of a gross household income. • Not a single public housing household exceeds this limit. Most households living in public housing (61%) are charged less than 5% of their household income. RENT GEARED TO INCOME Public housing rent assessments are geared to a tenant’s income, meaning the more income a tenant makes, the more rent they are likely to pay.

The public housing rent scale assesses the income of the two primary tenants in each unit based on the following annual income brackets: • Below $33,280: Up to $60 a month • $33,280 to $40,000: 20% of annual income • $40,000 to $80,000: 25% of annual income • $80,000 and above: 30% of annual income With 60 per cent of public housing tenants earning less than $33,280 per year, the LHOs’ ability to generate revenues from rent is severely limited. Income Distribution Among Tenants Below $33,280 $33,281 to $40,000 $40,000 to $60,000 $60,000 to $80,000 $80,000 to $100,000 $100,001+ 60% 6% 10% 6% 6% 12%

SUMMARY OF COLLECTIONS ACTIVITY Throughout the year, staff continued to work diligently with clients and tenants to develop payment plans that are affordable and reasonably adjusted to individual circumstances, while ensuring action is taken towards reducing arrears. This includes providing support and resources to each Local Housing Organization (LHO) to ensure improved collections outcomes. These efforts have resulted in average collections rates improving to 88% in 2024- 25, compared with 78% in 2023-24, however arrears remain a signiﬁcant issue.

To maximize its limited resources and maintain the quality of its programs and services, NHC is taking a proactive stance on collecting arrears. This includes working closely with the Department of Justice to improve collection outcomes by soliciting Rental Ofﬁcer support, utilizing small claims court, garnishment of wages, and third- party collections. Additionally, NHC continues to provide specialized administrative support to LHOs who are not meeting collection targets.

In 2024-25, NHC expanded the use of a consultant ﬁrm to assist in debt collection and in the modernization of NHC’s Collection Policies and Procedures. In 2025, NHC will continue its focus on repayments and arrears prevention solutions. Procedural updates will be aimed at supporting LHO staff to work collaboratively with NHC personnel and their tenants to collect existing arrears and prevent further accumulation.

The Corporation is addressing the composition of this portfolio with a view toward rebalancing its assets. Steps are being taken to increase the range of housing options available to Government of Nunavut staff. Staff housing program costs increased to $76.4 million from $70.9 million, an increase of $5.5 million. This was largely driven by a $1.7 million increase in leasing cost; $1.7 million increase in utilities expenses; and $1 million increase in maintenance cost. Revenues for staff housing rents are collected and retained by the Government of Nunavut Department of Finance.
