Housing for Healthcare

In March 2023, the Housing Trust of Nova Scotia partnered with the Government of Nova Scotia on a $20 million initiative to build and operate housing specifically for healthcare workers. By March 2024, funding was expanded to $45 million, supporting the creation of at least 112 new units across the province.

This initiative addresses two critical challenges:

The lack of dedicated housing for healthcare professionals
The growing shortage of affordable housing in Nova Scotia

Using our mixed-income housing model, the Housing Trust will ensure affordability by offering rent reductions based on household income. We are also working closely with local healthcare organizations to connect eligible residents with available homes.

Each development is designed with long-term retention in mind, helping healthcare workers integrate into communities and build lasting roots.
