Elders get fix-up funds

Elders and disabled Nunavummiut who own homes have a new pot of cash to tap into.

An annual $1,500 grant is now available from the Nunavut Housing Corporation for servicing furnaces, hot water boilers, water tanks and pumps, ventilation or ductwork systems and other projects. Funding is also available for general preventative projects related to energy efficiency, accessibility, and minor repairs to windows, doors and fixtures.

Applicants should call the housing corporation for more information.
