Preparing to open six more units for families experiencing homelessness in HRM. We need more more more!
We’re thrilled to purchase another condo to rent to a family experiencing homelessness in HRM. Housing like this is desperately needed throughout NS esp when it’s truly affordable. We’ll keep growing our housing stock and ensure rents remain affordable. #affordablehousing #housingisahumanright
We remember and reflect on the lives lost. And, we continue working to ensure this never happens again in our communities.
This is terrifying and a very close call, we need a close examination of recommendations that could have been put in place but have not been actioned. halifax.citynews.ca/2026/04/02/a...

While we continue to create and to advocate for more affordable housing, we must also focus on prevention, to reduce housing loss. Here’s how our program works to support women and families facing eviction. Email evictionprevention@adsumforwomen.org to see whether you’re eligible for support.
Punishing service providers & reinforcing NIMBYism will not solve homelessness. Housing that people can actually afford - and supports when needed - is the solution to homelessness. Stop stigmatizing people - and the organizations meeting their basic needs.
We supported 80+ families to move into temporary or permanent housing over the past year or so, leaving behind hotel rooms that should only be an emergency response. Nova Scotians need housing that is secure safe & affordable. We’re working to end homelessness through housing, services and advocacy.

Wishing all those celebrating this week connection and joy.
While many happy holiday traditions centre on home, warmth & hope, too many Nova Scotians are housing insecure. They don’t have the stability to find this sense of peace & joy. Over the holidays, we’re sharing the words of a tenant who knows the impact of having a stable home. #housingisahumanright

Countering the narrative that even in brutal weather, there is space inside for everyone. We know women stay in unsafe situations when shelters are full. And a reminder that housing is the solution to homelessness. @globalhalifax share.google/xloayjtmRcMb...
