United Way Maritimes, The River Philip Foundation, and The Shaw Group have partnered on a new housing community called The Groves at Hillsdale. Located on Church Street in Amherst, Nova Scotia, this development is a clustered residential community of compact, well-built homes for rent and sale. The Groves at Hillsdale is designed to fill growing gaps in the missing middle of housing options, where homeownership opportunities for working families with modest, stable incomes are in extremely short supply.
When the project is complete, there will be 47 residential units in total. Most units will be available for sale through a modified shared-equity homeownership model, with the remainder available at affordable monthly rents.
Twenty-two units are available in late spring, with the remainder currently under construction and installation by Prestige Homes, a member of The Shaw Group.
To be eligible for homeownership, potential homeowners should reside or work in Cumberland County, and have an annual gross household income of $50,000-$80,000.
