The Government of New Brunswick announced a new home built for a family in the Sackville district of Tantramar thanks to a partnership with Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick.

The non-profit organization receives up to $100,000 per unit from the provincial government towards the construction of new homes, a news release from the province said.

“It’s critical that we continue to find more pathways to home ownership,” said David Hickey, minister responsible for the New Brunswick Housing Corporation. “By working with our partners in Habitat for Humanity, we’re able to bolster medium-density housing options for those who need them.”

The three-bedroom bungalow is the 22nd affordable home built by the partnership since 2023.

“It’s a pleasure to work with the government of New Brunswick to make home ownership possible for families like this one,” said Perry Kendall, CEO of Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick. “We know the need is great, and this partnership is an effective way to get people into safe, secure housing.”
