The federal government and the municipal government of Halifax have announced $11 million in funding to create a minimum of 36 new units for vulnerable population groups in the city.
July 11, 2023
HALIFAX — The federal funding comes from the Rapid Housing Initiative’s City Stream. The RHI serves people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, women and children fleeing domestic violence, seniors, young adults, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, people experiencing mental health and addiction issues, veterans, victims of racism, LGBT+ individuals and recent immigrants or refugees.
“With access to programs like RHI, cities like Halifax can play a vital role in planning and building communities for all. The RHI program is testament to what can happen when all orders of government and social agencies join in common purpose to build much-needed affordable homes and address the housing crisis,” stated Halifax Mayor Michael Savage in a release.
