Nova Scotia Government@nsgov The Calnens became homeowners faster thanks to the First-time Homebuyers Program, one of many ways the Province is creating more housing options for Nova Scotians. Since the launch of the five-year plan Our Homes, Action for Housing, the Province has created the conditions for almost 80,000 additional homes for Nova Scotians and their families through generational investments in new non-market housing and by working across all levels of government to cut red tape and fast-track stalled developments. Key achievements from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026, include: - actions in the plan have already paved the way for 79,100 new units; the target was 41,200 new units - affordability has been improved for 25,500 households; the five-year goal was 17,250 households - housing conditions have been improved for 45,300 households; the five-year goal is 47,900 households - more than 1,400 first-time homebuyers were able to achieve their goal of homeownership through the Down Payment Assistance Program and the First-time Homebuyers Program the path has been cleared for more than 7,000 affordable and supportive housing units; the five-year goal was 5,000 units.

@cherbearskitchen Can we please build more roads to support all the new homes? There’s a huge development (8k units is what I heard) going up in Spryfield and from what I can tell, it looks like all the traffic is going to funnel into a part of Herring Cove Rd that is only a single lane in both directions…
