The Nova Scotia government is partnering with Rooted, a community housing organization, to preserve nearly 200 affordable homes in Dartmouth and Truro. Rooted recently bought properties on Primrose Street and Franklyn Court in Dartmouth and Park Street and Minerva Drive in Truro that have a total of 197 units, according to a news release from the province. The government gave Rooted more than $6.8 million in loans and grants to buy the six properties. “Preserving existing affordable housing units is just as important as building new, and that work is a key focus of our housing plan,” said Colton LeBlanc, minister of Growth and Development, in the release.
