Central Nova MP Sean Fraser says he was pleased to see several federal housing related initiatives get off the ground in the local area over the past year . Fraser was the federal Housing Minister until recently, after announcing he would not re-offer in the next federal election.
In a year-end interview, Fraser says with the Housing Accelerator Fund, which helps municipalities make it easier and faster to build homes, there’s been more than $7.5 million allocated to Pictou and Antigonish Counties.
Fraser says there’s also federal support for companies building pre-fabricated homes, and several local firms have benefited.
