The Minister of Children, Seniors and Social Development is planning a trip to the coast of Labrador to discuss housing needs in the region.
John Abbott, who’s also the minister responsible for NL Housing, acknowledges the special housing needs in the area.
The cost of construction is astronomical compared to the rest of the province, due largely to the cost of bringing in materials and the relatively short construction season.
Abbott plans to visit the region shortly after Christmas to meet with the Nunatsiavut Housing Commission and others to discuss their needs and what role NL Housing can play.
