About this organization
The Housing Trust of Nova Scotia is a new nonprofit housing organization that was formed in 2009 to tackle the growing problem of housing affordability in Nova Scotia. The Board of Directors was selected to provide a wide range of hands on skills, necessary for the complex task of developing high quality housing. In 2010, the Housing Trust received $3 million of funding from Nova Scotia Community Services (NS Housing) and these funds were used to acquire two large parcels of land in downtown Halifax.
The Housing Trusts goal is build new high quality mixed income housing projects that have a blend of affordable and market rate units. By combining mixed incomes in one building, the Housing Trust aims to remove the stigma associated with housing subsidy as tenants wont know who has received a subsidy, and is able to use the profit from the market rate units to subsidize the operation on the affordable units.
