03/09/2022

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke’s Housing Unit wishes to advise the community that the results of two recent surveys are now available for public viewing.

The surveys took place in December 2021 and January 2022. There was a high participation rate, with a total of 358 for both surveys.

The summary of the surveys shows that 63% of respondents want access to housing services within three (3) years, with 50% of those respondents wanting home ownership via building or rent-to-equity programs. Additionally, the majority (70%) of respondents indicated that they could afford a minimum of $500 - $650 per month for housing.

Moreover, past housing clients rated the programs and client service received as generally fair overall. Survey results showed a correlation between the quality of the program based on the quality of service provided by the employee. Improved service delivery results at higher program quality with an overall higher satisfaction score.

Detailed commentary provides a clear view on where the community stands in terms of current issues and needs, and their perspective on the future of housing within the community. The data provided by the surveys will guide the Housing Unit re-structuring strategy moving forward with the overall goal of continuing the improvement of services for the community.

Survey results can be accessed at www.kahnawake.com/housing.

The Housing Unit staff wish to thank the community for their input, as it will frame the future of all housing programs and client solutions, application processes, and the client service support experience in Kahnawà:ke.
