More public housing is coming faster for Nova Scotians.
Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister John Lohr and Halifax MP Andy Fillmore, on behalf of Sean Fraser, federal Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, announced today, February 23, the locations of new public housing units in Halifax Regional Municipality and 25 new modular housing units that will be installed in eight communities across the province by end of March.
The new modular units will give up to 88 people a safe and affordable place to call home in Glace Bay, Ingonish, Port Hawkesbury, Antigonish, Amherst, Springhill, Westville and Barrington and are in addition to the 222 units announced last September, bringing the number of new public housing units in the province to 247.
In total, this means new housing for more than 600 people and marks the largest investment in new public housing in 30 years.
