Pinehouse investigation may impact housing funding
The ongoing provincial investigation into the northern Village of Pinehouse could have an impact on future housing projects there.
As the detailed inquiry and audit into the administration’s finances and governance continues, the Ministry of Social Services said future projects would not move forward until the matter is concluded and the village addresses aspects in the report. The report is expected by the end of the year.
Funds for housing projects
In an email to paNOW, Tim Gross, executive director of housing development with the ministry said they had “communicated to the village and its subsidiaries that we are unable to move forward with making any further funding commitments to future projects until the review is complete, and they have addressed items identified resulting from the inquiry.”
