Affordable housing facilities in Nova Scotia will receive 32 million in federal and provincial funding.
Member of Parliment for the South Shore-St. Margaret's, Gerald Keddy made the announcement this morning.
Twenty-one million dollars will go towards repairs and renovations of social housing. Eleven million dollars will be provided for the construction of new homes for low-income seniors and people with disabilities across the province.
Keddy says the funding, made possible through the federal Economic Action Plan and the Nova Scotia Affordable Housing Program, is helping those who need it most while providing job opportunities for tradespeople throughout the region.
