Social Housing Investment for Labrador

On Friday the Governments of Newfoundland and Labrador and Canada announced a $787,000 contract to develop a new four-unit, affordable residential housing building in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

The new building will include two fully wheelchair-accessible, one-bedroom units on the main level, and two, one-bedroom units on the second level.

The main floor units include roll-in showers and wheelchair accessible kitchens and ‘no step’ entrances.

There will also be features such as widened exterior and interior doors and hallways, lever-type door handles and faucets along with energy efficiency and sustainability components.

Construction is expected to conclude in February 2023.
