About Us

Our Mandate

Nova Scotia Provincial Housing Agency (NSPHA) is the provincial government agency responsible for the administration and delivery of affordable housing solutions for low-income Nova Scotians.

We contribute to the prosperity of Nova Scotia by helping individuals and families find a home that’s right for them, at a price they can afford, in a healthy and vibrant community that offers the services, supports and opportunities they need. We accomplish this by working closely with other levels of government as well as private and community partners.

Across its regions, NSPHA provides more than 11,200 safe, affordable homes as part of its Housing Services to seniors and families. Regional offices manage the day-to-day operations of Nova Scotia’s housing stock. Their responsibilities include administering tenant applications and placements, collecting rent, resolving tenant issues, and maintaining and repairing properties.
