Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation rental units were under repairs in Nain this spring.

Nelson Flynn is the General Manager.

He says 5 units needed major repairs.

The bathrooms received overhauls such as floor repairs and the interior and exterior doors replaced.

Flynn says NLHC has approximately 15 applicants asking to rent these units, right now 2 or 3 have been occupied.

He says they are in the process of looking through the applications, to see the difference in family size.

These tenants or renters pay 25% of their gross income each month,which is different for people who receive income from Human Resources Department, as than the rent is payed through the Department.

In other rental house news, NLHC is looking at doing exterior repairs to ten or so units in Nain this summer.

He says NLHC was allocated funding for this work by the Provincial Government under their modernization program.
