On June 28, 2024, the New Brunswick Housing Corporation, in collaboration with the Moncton-based non-profit Rising Tide, announced the development of eight new public housing units. This initiative is part of a larger 40-unit project to enhance affordable housing options in the region. Social Development Minister Jill Green emphasized the importance of such projects in addressing the housing needs of New Brunswickers. The new units are the first public housing to be built in the province in nearly 40 years and are part of a broader $100 million strategy to construct 380 new units across New Brunswick.
