A long time on the housing waiting list

I am a resident of Sanikiluaq and I have been applying for a house for more than three years now.

Since our town had the privilege of getting fiveplexes built over the winter I was happy that for sure that I would be getting a house.

But that was not the case. What does the housing board of directors look into in giving somebody a house? Do we or our family member need to be one of the directors in order to get a house?

I’m sorry to say this, but it seems that way here in Sanikiluaq. I don’t know if the other Inuit communities are like that. For myself, I don’t want to be in any other communities, but it seems their families are first priorities to get a house or to get a new house.
