The provincial government says it’s spending some $31 million to build 344 new affordable rental units.
Government made the announcement yesterday, saying the units will be built at 33 sites across the province, with some of the funding coming from an “unrealistic” project in 2023.
Housing Minister Joedy Wall says the units will be through NL Housing and will be built in 18-30 months.

“So we have some units based on (an income of) $42,000 or less, we have some based on $38,000 or less,” he told reporters.
“So this is important for the people of the province, for the families who are working, struggling at times, this will certainly give them that hope and optimism that these new units will be available and in that price range.”
