More than 50 people in Yarmouth will soon have a new place to call home, thanks to a major investment from our PC government.
Premier Tim Houston was in Yarmouth today, July 16, to announce support for 24 new housing units, a project of the Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia.
“We said that we would build more homes faster, and we are doing just that,” said Premier Houston. “This project in Yarmouth is the perfect example of what’s possible when all levels of government work together with non-profit organizations and developers to ensure every Nova Scotian has a place to call home.”
The project includes two multi-unit buildings featuring studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, as well as three-bedroom townhouses. Fourteen of the 24 units will be offered at affordable rental rates ranging from $397 to $1,085. The remaining units will rent at market rates between $1,000 and $1,675. Residents are expected to begin moving in early next year.
This is part of our ongoing commitment to build more homes, faster. Since 2023, our PC government has invested over $120 million in more than 1,400 affordable units across Nova Scotia—part of the largest public housing investment in decades. We’re delivering results and helping more people find a safe, affordable place to live.
