The Government of New Brunswick announced a new public housing development in St. Stephen will expand access to affordable housing in the community.

A five-unit modular complex on Main Street is expected to be completed soon and welcome tenants by the 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.”

New Brunswick now has 3,900 public housing units with plans to open more before the end of the year, the province said in a news release.

“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 affordability and housing commitments in the province.
