We are an association of member organizations dedicated to strengthening the non-profit housing sector in Nova Scotia.
What we do
We are the voice for the non-profit housing sector in Nova Scotia. We bring members and others investing in non-profit housing together to benefit from a collective approach to housing solutions. We listen, research, advocate, share resources, provide and promote training and special offers, and so much more. We don’t directly offer housing, but some of our members do.

How we work
The NSNPHA works from a people first approach, centring the voices of Nova Scotians in our work. We collaborate with members across Nova Scotia to listen, understand and take action with the goal of strengthening the non-profit housing sector so all communities and people can find a home in our Province.
Non-Profit Housing: Did you know?
The Sector’s Share of Housing
Less than 4% of all households live in non-market housing. ( CCPA (2021) Keys to a Housing Secure Future for All Nova Scotians.)
Size of the Sector
There are 80 non-profit housing providers and 44 informal housing groups, networks, and coalitions in Nova Scotia as identified so far by the NSNPHA. (NSNPHA Members)
Affordable Supply
Between 2011 and 2021, for every 1 affordable unit built, 11 affordable units were lost in Canada. (Centre for Urban Research and Education, Carleton University)
Workforce Growth
Increasing Canada’s community housing to 7% by 2030 would boost economic productivity by 5.7% to 9.3%. This would grow GDP by an estimated $67 billion to $136 billion! (Deloitte)
