A wave of affordable housing continues to move over southern New Brunswick.
The latest announcement is for a dozen new public housing units in Grand Bay-Westfield.
Construction and inspections of the 12 row houses was completed in October.
Minister responsible for the New Brunswick Housing Corporation David Hickey said the government continues to work to expand the number and type of public housing units offered in the province.
“We’re glad to make this investment in the town of Grand Bay-Westfield,” the minister said in a statement. “Every community deserves access to safe and affordable housing.”
Grand Bay-Westfield Mayor Brittany Merrifield said she’s thrilled to see the investment in the town.
“We appreciate Housing New Brunswick’s commitment to our community and to the people who will make these houses their homes,” Merrifield said.
The mayor said expanding housing options is a priority for the community.
Families are expected to move into the two-bedroom homes in the coming weeks.
Of the 12 new row houses, six will be two-storey homes. The remaining six will be one-storey buildings.
