Only 30 per cent of Nova Scotians have a pension from their workplace, so most seniors often have to rely on their own savings, and government supplements.
The Nova Scotia government has had trouble in the past maintaining some of its existing stock of 11,202 public housing units. How will the province make sure its recently announced 222 planned units stay in good condition?
Nova Scotia s Progressive Conservative government is joining with Ottawa to fund 222 public housing units as the province battles an ongoing shortage of affordable residences.
The units will be built on provincially-owned land close to existing public housing developments in Bridgewater, Kentville, Truro, Cape Breton and Halifax Regional Municipality.
