Rural and Remote Housing Challenges

SUMMARY - Rural and Remote Housing Challenges

In the high Arctic community of Igloolik, Nunavut, a single mother of three navigates a housing crisis that defies conventional urban solutions. Her family resides in a modular home that, while structurally sound, lacks the insulation required to withstand temperatures dropping below -40°C for months of the year. With no local construction capacity and supply chains that rely on ice roads or expensive air freight, repairs are delayed for seasons.
