Nova Scotia invests $1.3M in Happipad, resulting in 23 leases despite a broader housing plan.

The Canadian non-profit app, launched in August 2023, lists 60 rooms and waives fees for users. Despite the low uptake, Nova Scotia's $1.7-billion housing plan targets creating conditions for 41,000 new homes in the province.
