Exciting changes to NCC programming!
NCC is pleased to announce exciting changes to two very important programs that have been developed and are being implemented by NCC!
Home Repair Program
The Home Repair Program, which provides funding assistance for individual home repair in NunatuKavut communities, is extended to March 31, 2024. Program changes include:
- homeowners being able to reapply once every three years. This means that if you applied the first year of the program, you can reapply!
- the maximum grant increasing to $15,000. This reflects increased and exorbitant constructions costs.

ikajuKatigek Medical Transportation Program
A new Medical Transportation Program – called ikajuKatigek (ik/ga/you/hot/de/geek) – is being introduced. This one year program, which runs from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024, provides financial support to eligible full members of NCC to help alleviate some of the travel costs incurred to access specialized insured medical services.
The maximum amounts annually are up to $5,000 per patient and up to $7,000 per patient with escort(s).
Translated from Inuttitut, ikajuKatigek means helping one another and is reflective of NCC’s vision of “governing ourselves, providing and caring for one another, our families and our communities while nurturing our relationship with our lands and waters.”
