Build 80,000 New Homes by 2032
A Nova Scotia Liberal government will do everything in its power to build more houses, because the best way to lower prices is by building more homes, including more deeply affordable homes. More housing being built will result in more affordable housing for Nova Scotians.
A Nova Scotia Liberal government will:
- Set a goal of building 80,000 new homes by 2032 to eliminate the housing shortfall, aiming for a rate of 11,000 new homes per year—enough to accommodate Nova Scotia’s growth,
- Establish increased minimum density standards across our province that take into account proximity to transportation and services,
- Ensure appropriate zoning to encourage density near our province’s universities so students have a place to live, and
- Eliminate any cases of restrictive covenants or exclusionary zoning that prevent housing from being built.
