THE FOLLOWING IS A REPORT IN NOVA SCOTIA WHERE , LIKE RECENTLY IN FREDERICTON NB , THEY ARE BUILDING MINI HOMES TO HOUSE PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS!.........N.S. announces two pilot projects to reduce homelessness Announcements come on the eve of provincial legislature's fall sitting The provincial government announced two new projects aimed at combating homelessness in Nova Scotia on Wednesday, the day before the fall sitting of the legislature.

The province is building its first "tiny home community" on Cobequid Road in Lower Sackville, according to a news release. It will have 52 units to provide housing for about 62 people. Thirty units will be move-in ready by next summer, while the entire community is expected to be complete a year from now.

The community will be a pilot project built by the Shaw Group and Dexter Construction on land owned by Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM).

"This is coming from what we're seeing on the ground," said Trevor Boudreau, minister of community services, in an interview. "The challenges that, you know, vulnerable Nova Scotians are facing, and certainly people who find themselves homeless or … living rough."

The Nova Scotia government said it will spend $9.4 million for initial construction, along with $935,000 per year in operating costs. The municipality is providing the land at no cost and will be in charge of property maintenance.
