Housing IS A Municipal Election Issue

2024 Municipal Elections

It is through strong leadership and a commitment to collaboration, that we may work together to take action on issues in our communities.

Since 2010 SSHAC has been building awareness and facilitating action on the need for healthy, safe and affordable housing options in Lunenburg and Queens Counties. Recognizing the importance of housing for the residents of their communities each of the 6 municipal units representing our communities are committed members of our coalition.

During this campaign, we are continuing to bring attention to housing as a concern in our communities and the opportunities which exist for municipal governments to take action.

Learn more about the municipal role in housing, and the various housing needs of our communities from the resources shared here:
