HALIFAX --
Nova Scotia will spend more than $1.8 million on three projects which will create more than 50 affordable housing units in Halifax.
The province announced details of the Rapid Housing Initiative in HRM on Monday.
The joint project by the federal, provincial and municipal government, will see three projects built that will create approximately 52 affordable housing units. The federal government had previously announced an investment of $8.7 million for the initiative.
"We need to act quickly to address the unprecedented housing market that currently exists in our province, and these projects are a significant step in the right direction," said Chuck Porter, N.S. minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. "We will continue to work with our partners to identify opportunities to protect vulnerable Nova Scotians now, while the Nova Scotia Affordable Housing Commission continues its work to find long-term solutions."
