Please share! Survey responses are needed by June 30. See details below.

Renting to own can be a path to homeownership for people who might otherwise be unable to buy a home. In addition to its focus on affordable and attainable rental housing for our area, the St. Margaret's Bay Housing Coalition is exploring potential local interest in rent-to-own housing options.

The Maritime Housing Society, based in Bridgewater, has a vision to make homeownership affordable to all Nova Scotians. MHS is gathering information from Western Nova Scotia, including St. Margaret's Bay, through a survey currently in circulation.

SMBHC is helping to promote and circulate the survey. Anyone who lives in St. Margaret’s Bay or west of the Bay is invited to complete the 10-minute survey found here.

Your personal details will not be collected, and you will not be contacted further. The submission deadline is Tuesday, June 30.
