Legislation Formally Appoints CEO of Housing Nova Scotia

Community Services

Amendments introduced to the Housing Act and the Housing Nova Scotia Act today, Oct. 9, will formally establish the position of a chief executive officer.

"Housing Nova Scotia helps seniors stay in their homes longer, and helps low- and modest-income families find safe and appropriate housing they can afford," said Community Services Minister Joanne Bernard. "This amendment is an important step in allowing the organization to move forward on the housing strategy, launched last year."

Kevin Malloy, a long-time public servant in Nova Scotia, was appointed to the position in October 2013, and reports directly to the minister.

Housing Nova Scotia is a corporation that supports the province's first long-term affordable housing strategy. For more information on its programs and initiatives, visit housingns.ca .
