So pleased to see phase 2 of our Housing for Healthcare build at Lunenburg taking shape — and so quickly thanks to pre-fabrication construction techniques!
This phase of the Knickle Road project will add six two-level, two-bedroom townhouses to the property many of us remember as the Wheelhouse Motel. Renovations to the former motel building created 16 units, including studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Those opened last year and are occupied by health care workers including staff of Fishermen's Memorial Hospital and Harbour View Haven Nursing Home.
Many thanks to our partners with The Housing Trust of Nova Scotia!

We’re extremely proud to share an update on our Housing for Healthcare communities. Of the 48 non‑market rental homes delivered to date through this program in rural Nova Scotia, over 90% are now occupied, with five units currently available for leasing.

From the Canso Causeway to the South Shore, these communities support healthcare and skilled trades workers across rural Nova Scotia, with new Housing for Healthcare communities opening in 2026.

For healthcare and skilled trades workers, this means access to well‑maintained homes at rents they can manage—close to where they work and the communities they serve. When residents aren’t stretched by market‑rate rents, they tell us they finally have room in their budgets for everyday needs like groceries, transportation to work, and a bit of enjoyment—things many had to put aside before finding HTNS housing.

While our residents are diverse, we focus on the “missing middle”—teachers, nurses, tradespeople, and other essential workers who help our communities thrive. By supporting this middle tier of the workforce, we help create stability from the centre outward. When the middle is strong, the entire housing system becomes stronger.

At HTNS, we operate in the non‑market rental housing segment, prioritizing stability so essential workers can focus on what matters most: caring for our communities.
