Amherst, Nova Scotia – Applications are now open for a new housing community called The Groves at Hillsdale, located on Church Street in Amherst, Nova Scotia. United Way Maritimes, The River Philip Foundation and The Shaw Group have partnered on this clustered residential community of compact, well-built homes for rent and sale. The Town of Amherst contributed significantly to support infrastructure and rezoning to make the project a reality. The Groves at Hillsdale is designed to fill growing gaps in the missing middle of housing options, where homeownership opportunities for families and individuals with stable incomes (avg. annual Amherst area household income – $63,000) are in extremely short supply.
