In December 2020, the federal and provincial governments announced a combined investment of $10.5 million into creating 52 affordable housing units in Halifax.
The North End Community Health Association was to receive $1.2 million to create 10 units, but Adams says that's "not the way to do things."
He says a request for proposal (RFP) with specific standards and requirements should be created putting the money into the private sector. Then, the terms can be handed over to the not-for-profits to run the buildings.

It just looks to me like he wants his whining clique of exploitative developers to profit from not-for-profit housing. Don’t let this false-hearted sellout fool you; Adams doesn’t give a hoot about affordability. Going to work for UDI immediately after leaving office shows who really does the talking.
