ANNAPOLIS VALLEY:<\/strong> Students now have more options for affordable housing in the Annapolis Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Housing Nova Scotia has purchased four multi-unit buildings in Lawrencetown and three in Kingston with the help of $6.9 million in loans from the Province\u2019s Community Housing Acquisition Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is just as important to preserve affordable housing as it is to build new units,\u201d said John White, Minister of Housing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are grateful for our partners in the community housing sector for their support in our government\u2019s efforts to provide more affordable housing throughout our province.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 22 units in Lawrencetown are near Nova Scotia Community College\u2019s Centre of Geographic Sciences campus, while the 34 units in Kingston are within a short drive to the Kingstec campus in Kentville and the Annapolis Valley campus in Middleton.

The projects also received $530,000 through the Community Housing Capital Fund, managed by the Community Housing Transformation Centre.

While students will be given priority when units become available, enrollment at a post-secondary institution is not a requirement; current residents will not be displaced by students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
