Funding Shortfall For First Nations Housing

Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day says the Federal government is shortchanging northern First Nations when it comes to funding for housing.

Speaking in Dryden, Day said there is a $2-billion shortfall in housing in the Ontario region alone.

He notes the recent budget only saw an increase of $600-million.

Day stresses that is clearly not where they need to be, noting the outstanding issue is plaguing Indigenous communities.
