Saint John Dinner Meeting

On January 17, 2024, the Government of Canada awarded the City of Saint John with $9.1 Million from the “Housing Accelerator Fund”. This Agreement will provide funding to eliminate barriers to building the housing we need, faster. It will allow for more housing options in the city, including more rental, affordable, and missing-middle housing, with up to four units per residential lot. As part of the agreement, Saint John will cut red tape, reduce requirements, and accelerate approval timelines for missing-middle units. The city will work to reform its zoning bylaw approvals, use public and underutilized lands for housing development, and implement a new permitting system. It will also work with non-profit and private home builders to coordinate, fund, and develop affordable housing projects.

 

Come join us to learn how this funding will affect housing in Saint John, and the role our members could play in this initiative.
