Nunatsiavut Housing Crisis & the “Heart of Labrador” (Ep. 8)

Justin Brake visits Happy Valley-Goose Bay to understand the community’s concerns over a proposed new supportive services facility in response to the central Labrador town’s housing and homelessness crisis. Then he travels to Hopedale, Nunatsiavut to see what the Inuit government is doing for unhoused folks on Labrador’s north coast.
