Housing is a complex issue, and the housing needs of Nova Scotians are diverse.

The Housing Needs Assessment is one of the recommendations from the 2021 Affordable Housing Commission Report and is intended to further our understanding of the needs of Nova Scotians, The Housing Needs Assessment will provide data and information on current and projected housing needs for each of the 49 municipalities in Nova Scotia. It will help to identify gaps in current and projected housing requirements and ensure that future investments are designed to close those gaps. While some municipalities have already completed their housing needs assessment, this is not the case for the vast majority.
This information will be invaluable to all levels of government, private sector, and community housing partners as they work to collectively improve the housing situation in Nova Scotia in both the short and long term. The results will not only inform the number of housing units that each community needs, but also the type of housing that needs to be built.
The data and information collected will also be used to inform the development of two new Housing Strategies: the Provincial Housing Strategy, as well as the Student Housing Strategy, which is focused on housing for post-secondary students studying in Nova Scotia.
