Housing Minister John Lohr said since then, the government has received five applications, three of which have been approved so far. Housing Minister John Lohr said 50 homeowners did show interest in securing a modular home when the program first started, but the process can be complicated. A spokesperson with the province said those who were displaced who require financial support or rent supplements should contact the Canadian Red Cross for assistance. Still, Lohr said he expects more people will start applying for the modular homes soon. Lohr said once the modular homes are no longer needed, they will be repurposed elsewhere.
