Housing NWT has dismissed the Fort Resolution Housing Authority board of directors and appointed an administrator, citing "operational challenges" with the board.

"The minister of Housing Northwest Territories (Housing NWT) has determined that it has become necessary to place the Fort Resolution Housing Authority under administration due to operational challenges," said Housing NWT communications manager Jeanne Gard on July 25. "It is an exceptional measure that has been deemed necessary to stabilize operations and address the challenges the Housing Authority is facing.

"The GNWT made every effort to work collaboratively with the Fort Resolution Housing Authority to address areas of concern SA国际影视传媒� the decision to place it under administration became necessary to protect housing services and ensure stability," Gard added.

Career auditor Darlene Berthier will replace the board. She will remain in the position until the minister determines otherwise.
