Halifax Regional Municipality Affordable Housing Strategy 2026-2036
The Affordable Housing Strategy for the Halifax Regional Municipality defines the municipal role in addressing the housing supply and affordability crisis and guides efforts to support affordable housing development over the next ten years, starting in 2026. Its vision is for the municipality to collaborate with partners to ensure residents have affordable and suitable housing options. The strategy is built upon principles of complete communities, long-term thinking, access to opportunities, responsiveness, and being data-driven. It outlines actions to advance non-market, deeply affordable, and supportive housing, integrate with existing programs, and leverage partnerships and legislative frameworks, aligning with the Housing Accelerator Fund Action Plan.
