Protecting and Expanding Social Housing

An investment of $34 million to purchase or lease 15 new properties to create and protect social housing will increase the number of locations acquired by the Province by 50 per cent, bringing the total number to 45, Premier Campbell announced on January 30. The properties, located in 10 communities, will provide over 600 units of housing with integrated support services. This acquisition brings the total number of properties acquired by the Province since 2001 to protect and create affordable housing to 45, and the total number of units in those properties to almost 2,030.
