EASTERN CHARLOTTE (GNB) – A family from the St. George district of Eastern Charlotte has moved into a new home thanks to a partnership between Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick and the provincial government.
“We’re happy to see people secure safe, affordable housing in their community,” said David Hickey, minister responsible for the New Brunswick Housing Corporation. “We know there’s a lack of medium-density housing in the province, and we’re trying to address the challenges around home ownership by working with partners like Habitat for Humanity.”
The non-profit organization receives $70,000 per unit from the government for up to 10 new homes per year.
“We’re so pleased to have had the opportunity to partner with the government of New Brunswick on this well-built, energy-efficient home, which meets the needs of this family,” said Perry Kendall, CEO of Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick. “Projects like these allow us to help families secure safe and affordable homeownership opportunities throughout our province.”
The three-bedroom bungalow will become the 18th affordable home the corporation and Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick have built since 2023.
