Nova Scotia Provincial Housing Agency plans to build 273 units and improve turnover times, but critics demand increased non-profit aid for the 71,600-unit shortfall by 2027.
The Nova Scotia Provincial Housing Agency is addressing a public housing waitlist of approximately 7,000, with seniors comprising nearly half of the applicants. While the province plans to build 273 new units and has improved unit turnover times by 25%, critics argue these efforts are insufficient. They call for increased support for non-profit organizations to tackle the broader housing crisis, which includes a projected shortfall of 71,600 units by 2027.
