Nova Scotia to Add Eight Public Housing Units in Eastern Passage
What happened
Nova Scotia announced plans to expand its housing initiatives. The province stated that eight new public housing units are coming to Eastern Passage, N.S. These units, located on Caldwell Road, will be a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments intended for individuals and families. The province's five-year housing plan commits $251 million to build 515 new public housing units for over 1,300 people across Nova Scotia.

Why it matters
The new units are expected to be finished in about two years, with tenants paying no more than 30 percent of their income before taxes on rent. The plan has faced criticism from opposition leaders who stated it does not go far enough to address low vacancy rates and the housing crisis.
