"Offering housing goes beyond the simple idea of providing a roof over one’s head. It also means turning this roof into a house where life is good." 

The KMHB houses 98% of Nunavik's population, for a total of nearly 14,000 people. More than 54% of the population is under 25 years of age, and 70% is under 35 years of age. People over 55 years of age currently represent 10%. The population is growing faster than the rest of Quebec's population and households have a higher number of members than in southern Quebec.

OUR ENGAGEMENT

Our commitment to the community is vital to us. Offering housing goes beyond the simple idea of providing a roof over one’s head. It also means turning this roof into a house where life is good. And, for this reason, we need the support of other local organizations to contribute to the development of dynamic, sustainable and safe communities.

One of the mandates that the KMHB has undertaken is to become more involved in the communities. We want to make a difference in the way we live our daily lives: the Pivallianiq Program, the housing festival and various financial initiatives to support community projects testify to this. The KMHB wishes to stimulate the vitality and dynamism of communities.

PIVALLIANIQ PROGRAM

By creating the Pivallianiq Program, we have been able to connect with families and improve the housing conditions of our tenants. This program promotes a better quality of life through the maintenance of spaces and the prevention of vandalism. Several projects and initiatives have emerged from this program, including: the Nanuk tour in elementary and secondary schools, the presence of street workers in some communities and the implementation of several other projects.
