by NDP Leader Claudia Chender announced a rent-to-own starter home program in Dartmouth, this morning.
Chender says nearly 500 homes would be built in the first year of the program using prefabricated construction.
She says Nova Scotians who make less than $100,000 a year would be able to rent one of the homes and build equity toward homeownership.
She says the program would increase the number of families able to buy their first home by 10 per cent in the first year.
Chender is spending the rest of the day attending meetings and canvasing in Lunenburg.
