SECOND UNIT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
HRM, with help from funding from the federal government’s Housing Accelerator Fund, has introduced a new grant program to help property owners create more housing options.
The Second Unit Incentive Program offers financial grants to help offset costs associated with building new secondary units.
Eligible residents can receive up to $12,000 to help reduce building expenses related to water and wastewater.
Applications will be open until June 1, 2026, or until funding is fully allocated. More information on how to apply can be found on HRM’s website: halifax.ca/about-halifax/regional-community-planning/housing-accelerator-fund/second-unit-incentive.
