The Yellowknife Women's Society announced that 26 people face eviction and potential homelessness after receiving eviction notices for 23 units in the Housing First program. The crisis stems from Northview Residential REIT selling six apartment buildings in Yellowknife—including Dorset Apartments, Simpson House, and Norseman Apartments—to Balto Capital, whose operating model excludes the Housing First program. Additionally, Northview intends to evict Housing First tenants from its Fort Gary apartment building, impacting a program that currently has over 100 people on its waitlist.
