The community of Fort Good Hope, N.W.T., will soon have full control over care and maintenance of its housing.
The Northwest Territories Housing Corporation is handing over authority for repairs and maintenance of private housing units in the community to the K'asho Got'ine Housing Society, an arm of the K'asho Got'ine First Nation.
Previously, when Fort Good Hope members living in housing units needed repairs or maintenance on their units, the N.W.T. Housing Corporation would put the work out to tender. Arthur Tobac, a leader with the K'asho Got'ine Housing Society, described that as part of a problem.
