February 28, 2023 – Government of PEI: The Province will be adding another 26 social housing units for people in the rural communities of Kensington, Alberton and Mount Stewart.
The new mixed social housing complexes will include a 10-unit on Victoria Street West in Kensington, a 10-unit on the site of the former Maplewood Manor on Church Street in Alberton, and a six-unit on Palmer’s Lane Street in Mount Stewart, next to an existing PEI Housing Corporation social housing complex.
“We have an all-hands-on-deck approach to increasing the supply of social housing through purchases, partnerships with developers and capital builds like the ones announced today,” says Social Development and Housing Minister Matthew MacKay/
“These new builds will help to increase the PEI vacancy rate and help Islanders on the social housing registry find a place to call home.”
