Sell vacant land parcels to communities for $1 on the condition that they're used to build affordable housing

Increase the provincially-funded non-profit rental stock from 3,000 to 7,000 units by 2032

"The province is currently a funding partner for 110 organisations that control over 3,000 housing units. We will build more units in order to more than double the existing stock, building 4,000 additional units by 2032, being sure to include wraparound supports for residents. We’ll do this by investing in non-profit organizations, and creating a trusted non-profit developer program that will fast track applications from organizations who have experience building housing. The non-profit sector has the capacity and the knowledge to manage deeply affordable housing properly, and the government can assist by building new units and acquiring underutilized housing." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
