The Province is investing nearly $22 million to create more than 370 affordable housing units in Dartmouth.
"Today, we're taking real action to provide more Nova Scotians with a safe, comfortable and affordable place to call home," said Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister John Lohr. "This project is a great example of how we can work with our partners, both in the private and non-profit sectors, to address the housing crisis in Nova Scotia."
The agreement with Clayton Developments will see new energy-efficient townhouses, fourplexes and multi-unit buildings built in the Southdale-Mount Hope area. The Province will invest $21.8 million to create 373 affordable units, included as part of a larger development of 875 homes, townhomes and apartments. Rents for affordable housing units in the development will range from 60 to 80 per cent of average market rents.
