The Housing Trust owns a total of 295 units in five multi-family buildings in Halifax and Dartmouth and is building housing for healthcare and other skilled workers across the province. Our goal is to acquire or build 1,000 units by 2030, transitioning units from the private sector to the community or non-profit sector and building in partnership to create a stock of perpetually affordable housing.

We’ll implement our “mixed income” model at all our buildings, ensuring they are more affordable to working households and people on fixed incomes. The combination of rent levels in each building helps keep the building financially sustainable and allows a range of households to afford to live in a neighbourhood. That can help keep a community diverse and vibrant. We’ll also work to improve the energy efficiency of our buildings to help control costs and achieve environmental goals.

We currently have 1 Bedroom apartments available at 18 Crown Drive. These units have been renovated with modern appliances, updated bathrooms and kitchens, new flooring and painting throughout. Eligible tenants must have a household income of between $30,000 and $75,000 per year and must show proof of employment, identification and insurance coverage. Monthly rent for one bedroom units are starting at $1,450 per month, heat and hot water included in the monthly rent. Units are non smoking and pets permitted (cats only).
