Build and Support More Co-Ops

A Nova Scotia Liberal government will invest significantly in co-op housing to expand this affordable model across the province, with a goal of creating 2,000 new co-op units by 2032. We will achieve this goal by:

  • Offering grants and low-cost loans to build new co-ops and expand existing ones,
  • Opening up the Community Housing Acquisition Program to fund projects that add units to existing co-op projects or build new buildings, where currently the fund can only be used to purchase existing residential properties, and
  • Invest $20M in additional grant funding streams to build new co-ops, expand existing co-ops, and fund co-op repairs.

Cost estimate: Total cost: $5M/year
