Federal Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen says affordable housing units like the recently opened
Appleseed Court in Antigonish County changes people’s lives. Hussen attended a ceremony marking the completion of the project by the Antigonish Affordable Housing Society on Tuesday.
Hussen says several residents he spoke to at the event talked about how much of a difference their new home has made in their lives.
Hussen says the various partners who came together with the federal government to make Appleseed Court a reality are already talking about possible future developments.
The federal government contributed $2.4 million to the Appleseed Court project, the province committed $350,000 and the County of Antigonish gave $100,000.
