A Sept. 2, 2026 announcement outlined more than $37 million in combined funding for 91 rental homes in Dartmouth’s Mount Hope neighbourhood. CMHC identified Phases 2 and 3 of the development as the homes supported by that announcement.

The federal government announced the support alongside Nova Scotia, Halifax Regional Municipality and YWCA Halifax. The homes are intended for families led by women and gender-diverse people, according to the release.

The funding is a combined contribution from the partners identified in the announcement. It should not be read as a $37 million contribution from each participant, or as a statement of the amount a household would pay to rent a home.

The release also discussed Halifax’s separate Housing Accelerator Fund milestones. That municipal program and the 91-home Mount Hope project describe different parts of the housing effort; their figures should not be merged into a single project budget.
