A New Brunswick family from Eastern Charlotte moved into a new home built through a partnership between Habitat for Humanity and the province.

David Hickey, the minister responsible for the New Brunswick Housing Corporation, said it was good to see people moving into affordable housing in their community.

“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,” Hickey said.

The government provides $70,000 per unit to Habitat for Humanity for up to 10 homes per year, said a Thursday news release.

“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 home – a three-bedroom bungalow – will be the 18th affordable home built through the partnership since 2023, said the release.
