Yukon Housing Corporation (YHC) was established in 1972 under the Housing Corporation Act. The Corporation provides social housing to low income tenants and staff housing in the communities; lends money to Yukoners to become home-owners, repair their homes, or improve the energy efficiency of their homes; and assists seniors and people with disabilities to meet accessibility needs.
Many of the YHC building provide housing to seniors and vulnerable persons who have expressed concerns for their safety based on previous incidents. This project will deploy video surveillance cameras at 15 multi-unit housing buildings in Whitehorse. It will fulfill the desire to provide safe and secure housing facilities and answer tenants’ demands for 24/7 surveillance.
