"Nova Scotians need housing. Right now the lack of available and affordable housing is challenging people, families and communities across this province," Housing Minister John Lohr told a news conference in Halifax on Tuesday. Lohr said the aim is to get as much affordable housing as possible developed, but he said the province also needs other types of housing. (Paul Palmeter/CBC)The government is using the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation definition of affordable housing as it applies to the National Housing Co-investment Fund. Both Hansen and Nicoll said the province's definition of affordable housing should be tied to a person's income and ability to pay, rather than market value.
