New Dawn and the Ally Centre have proposed a 24-unit safe, affordable, staffed supporting housing project for a diverse array of Ally Centre Clients - those most at risk of homelessness in the CBRM. Read more about the proposal here.

New Dawn and the Ally Centre were dismayed to learn today that CBRM Council is moving to return $5 million in funding for affordable housing to the federal government.

New Dawn has published its application to the CBRM RHI City Stream Request for Expressions of Interest. New Dawn is calling on the CBRM to hold a public Council meeting to discussion its decision to return $5 million in affordable housing funding the federal government.

The issue of affordable housing is one of several – climate change, poverty, population growth, mental health/addictions, unemployment, healthcare – that will challenge this and other municipalities in the coming years. These are the issues that define our health, wellbeing, safety, and quality of life.
