👉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.
