ST. STEPHEN (GNB) – A new public housing development will soon expand access to affordable housing for families in St. Stephen.

A five-unit modular complex on Main Street is nearing completion and is expected to start welcoming tenants this fall.

“In rural communities, finding access to safe, affordable housing for families can be very challenging,” said David Hickey, minister responsible for the New Brunswick Housing Corporation. “We’re excited to soon be welcoming tenants to this beautiful new facility.”

There are now nearly 3,900 public housing units across the province, with plans to open more before the end of the year.

“Our team is working hard to deliver newly built affordable housing for New Brunswickers,” said Hickey.

The corporation has a variety of housing programs for renters and property owners to help address the government’s affordability and housing commitments.

Work is underway on 127 additional public housing units at 13 sites across the province.
