New affordable, energy efficient housing is coming to Dartmouth.

The province says the development on True North Crescent is nearly complete and leasing has begun.

It will have 32 townhouse-style units, 15 will be affordable.

Minister of Housing John Lohr says it is “wonderful” to see the units take shape, “bringing more affordable, energy efficient and accessible living to north Dartmouth.”

“This is one more way we’re working across all levels of government and with strong community partners like the Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia to create more housing, faster for Nova Scotians.”

It’s the second phase of the True North project that are located at 64, 67 and 91 True North Crescent.

Twelve affordable units were built last year on 80 True North Crescent, from funding from all three levels of government.

This project received $2.7 million from the province in a forgivable loan, through the Affordable Housing Development Program for the project.
