An affordable housing project nestled in Fredericton has reached a major
milestone. The final home of the 12 Neighbours community was delivered and
placed on its foundation today -- marking the first major part of the
large-scale development on the city's northside, with 96 homes planned in total.

A project in Fredericton that builds affordable micro-homes is getting more than
$13 million in funding from the New Brunswick and federal governments.

In a release, the province said the new funding will allow another 60 homes to
be built in the 12 Neighbours Community for the second phase of the project.

Jill Green, minister responsible for housing in New Brunswick, said in the
release that the micro-home community is “the most innovative initiative that
has been developed in New Brunswick to help vulnerable residents in need of
housing.”

“Dozens of low-income individuals that were confronted with homelessness have
already found a home in the 12 Neighbours community and many more will have that
opportunity thanks to Phase 2 of the project,” said Green, speaking on behalf of
Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard.

Thirty-six homes have already been built in the 12 Neighbours Community during
the first phase of the project.

The community consists of “fully independent and detached micro-homes on their
own small private yard,” the release said, and each home includes a bathroom, a
fully equipped kitchen, sleeping space for one or two people, and living and
dining areas.

Tenants do not pay more than 30 per cent of their total household income in
rent.

The provincial and federal governments are investing a combined $2.4 million in
the form of a forgivable loan through the Affordable Rental Housing Program.
There will be an additional investment of $7.1 million over the next 20 years
for rent supplements.

As well, the federal government is contributing $3.8 million for the first and
second phases of the project through the National Housing Co-Investment Fund,
which is part of the National Housing Strategy.



“We are pleased to receive this important support from both levels of government
on this project,” said Marcel LeBrun, founder of 12 Neighbours Community Inc.,
in the release.

“This neighbourhood of micro-homes already makes an important difference in the
lives of so many people, and the completion of the project will be an asset for
the overall Fredericton community as an important contributor in helping to
reduce homelessness.”

The project received $1.4 million, as well as rent supplements for each unit, in
the form of a forgivable loan during the first phase of the project last year.
