Local social housing is now being managed by the District of Nipissing Social Services Administration Board.

The board has realigned the services previously managed by the The Nipissing District Housing Corporation.

The Board chair Mark King says the decision was a tough one but the move will mean social services are managed more efficiently across the region.

He says there will be no impact to operational staff and any staffing changes will occur through attrition or retirement.

He says he thanks NDHC’s board members for their contribution.
