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

30 women and girls killed in 2026 so far, Canadian femicide observatory says “The killing of women and girls is distinct from the killing of men and boys, and we need to recognize that distinction in order to have more nuanced prevention,” says Myrna Dawson.

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.

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

When women & families flee Gender-Based Violence the experience can be daunting. For many, lack of affordability, limited finances & uncertainty around supports available act as barriers to accessing safe housing.

A backpack, sneakers, even snacks can help, because every child deserves to enter school ready to learn. Thanks to friends at Dal Med for packing school supplies for 140+ kids.

Government funding helps to promote housing supply but new units are rarely accessible to Nova Scotians who most need affordable housing where rents are geared to income. And to be clear, affordable housing does not trickle down. It is intentionally created. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
