New Brunswick and the federal governments jointly invest $18.3 million in affordable housing initiatives to address housing challenges. The Rural Workforce Housing Pilot will receive $15 million for 100 new affordable units, while Abbey St. Andrew in Saint John will receive $3.3 million for renovations and rent supplements. New Brunswick Housing Corporation Minister David Hickey emphasizes the importance of this investment for families and local economies, particularly as the province continues to welcome newcomers. This investment will ensure sustainable community growth and accessibility to affordable housing options.
