👉Halifax council has approved nine new parks for designated homeless encampments to alleviate overcrowding at current sites. As of June 25, the city's four sanctioned sites, designed for 30 people, were sheltering 88 tents or structures. Additional tents were found at Northbrook Park in Dartmouth, the old Halifax Memorial Library, and various urban and rural locations. The council's decision aims to accommodate the growing number of homeless individuals, which now totals 1,316. Staff selected parks that aren't near schools or culturally sensitive areas but are close to transit and services.✅ . 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞- 𝐀𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮!

👉Responding to Halifax's housing crunch, the city is considering incentivizing developers to convert old offices into apartments. With Halifax receiving federal funding from the Housing Accelerator Fund, a pilot program is in development, offering grants to convert downtown office buildings into housing. Councillor Waye Mason stated that such conversions could quickly address the housing shortage while minimizing impact on the streetscape and reducing environmental waste. The program would prioritize market-rate housing, aiming to provide housing quickly while acknowledging the need for more affordable units. At least three buildings have been proposed for the pilot program.✅ . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.
