TANTRAMAR (GNB) – A family in the Sackville district of Tantramar has a new home today thanks to a partnership between Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick and the provincial government.

“It’s critical that we continue to find more pathways to home ownership,” said David Hickey, minister responsible for the New Brunswick Housing Corporation. “By working with our partners in Habitat for Humanity, we’re able to bolster medium-density housing options for those who need them.”

The non-profit organization receives up to $100,000 per unit from the government for the construction of new homes.

“It’s a pleasure to work with the government of New Brunswick to make home ownership possible for families like this one,” said Perry Kendall, CEO of Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick. “We know the need is great, and this partnership is an effective way to get people into safe, secure housing.”

The three-bedroom bungalow is the 22nd affordable home the corporation and Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick have built together since 2023.
