Housing problem worse than estimated.

The chiefs of the Assembly of First Nations heard that the number of houses required in First Nation communities as quoted by the national chief in his Getting Results Strategy is incorrect and the situation is bleaker than stated. Officials in the Assembly of First Nations Quebec region conducted a detailed study of what the state of affairs was in Quebec regarding housing shortages. They discovered the numbers in just their province were more alarming than the national numbers quoted in auditor general Sheila Fraser's April 2003 report on First Nations housing, which concluded there was a 8,500 housing unit shortfall.
