More than 200 housing units will be built in East Hants, N.S., over the next three years as part of a new agreement between federal and municipal governments.

According to a news release from the Government of Canada, the Housing Accelerator Fund will provide $5.8 million to eliminate barriers for housing in East Hants. The municipality’s action plan will allow for more units on residential lots, make municipal land available for housing, and streamline approval processing times.
