Newfoundland and Labrador Housing says they are on track with renovations to nine housing units on Labrador’s north coast.

Torngat Mountains MHA Lela Evans first raised the issue in the House of Assembly during the spring sitting, noting that she had been advocating for the units to be repaired for a couple of years.

NL housing says work on two of the vacant units in Nain have already been completed, with tenants already moved into one and people in the process of moving into the second.

Work is still underway on the other five units in Nain, and is expected to be completed “in the near future.”

There are two units in Hopedale awaiting repairs as well. The NLHC says they are in the process of tendering three new units for the town, and part of that contract will be repairs to the existing apartments.

That work is expected to be completed by the fall.
