Municipality of Cumberland welcomes provincial commitment to Springhill public housing project

Details

The Municipality of Cumberland is welcoming the province’s commitment to building eight units of public housing on Junction Road in Springhill.

The announcement made Housing Minister John White on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025. In total, sites in four communities have been selected for new public housing that will create up to 64 new safe and affordable homes.

The new housing in Middleton, Windsor, Shubenacadie and Springhill is part of the plan to build 515 new public housing units across the province over the next five years. Design work for the buildings in the four communities is now underway, and construction could start as soon as the spring.

“We’re very pleased that this much-needed public housing is being provided here in Cumberland County,” Municipality of Cumberland Mayor Rod Gilroy said. “We applaud the minister and the provincial government for including our area in what is the first significant announcement of public housing in our province in decades.”

Construction of the project at 24-26 Junction Road.
