<span style="color:black;background:white">Please join the Coady Institute, with the support of Employment and Social Development Canada, in creating a publicly available map of affordable housing efforts in Nova Scotia that align with the United Nations (UN)
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The <i>UN SDGs and Affordable Housing in Nova Scotia Map</i> will help organizations connect, share information, engage in learning, and support each other in our shared commitment to increasing housing security in our
province.<br>
<br>
Affordable, accessible housing is crucial to the wellbeing of our communities. The UN SDGs and Agenda 2030 provide a framework that allows us to demonstrate how affordable housing can contribute to the improvement of other aspects of our lives. To learn more
