True North Crescent is nearing completion with 15 new affordable townhouse-style rental units. We're grateful for the opportunity to work with the Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia and Dora Construction Ltd to bring this project to reality. A total of 44 units, 27 of which are high-performance, energy efficient, affordable housing. Great to see coverage of this important project.

What are the most important aspects of a new housing build? How much storage space should houses have? What size does the kitchen need to be? What level of accessibility is required? Help us answer these questions and more! Cape Breton Regional Municipality is launching the exciting Pre-Approved Housing Design Initiative with an online survey to better understand housing needs and the housing options that will best suit our communities. The main aim of the Pre-Approved Housing Design Initiative is to help address the housing crisis by providing ready-to-go home plans that can be used by individuals and builders free of charge. This will help cut red tape, lower costs, and diversify housing options. We want your input, whether you are a renter, developer, property owner, property manager, or resident! The results from this survey will be used to help inform the development of the housing designs and ensure they are rooted in the needs, priorities and preferences of CBRM residents. Time to complete the online survey: approximately 10-15 minutes Survey is open until Sunday, August 18th. Link to the online survey: https://lnkd.in/e_TDFHyQ
