Kensington Mayor Rowan Caseley is excited to hear that 10 social housing units are planned in his town. – Kristin Gardiner Although Kensington struggles at times to keep up with its demand for housing, Caseley said “it’s great” to see progress being made.This social housing announcement, said MacKay, is one of several the province expects to announce in the next six months. The longer-term plan, he told SaltWire Network, aims to bring the housing vacancy rate to four per cent.
“We’ve known for a long time now that we don’t have the numbers for housing with our population growth,” said MacKay.
