N.B., Ottawa to spend $210M helping non-profits build new homes across province

The funding commitment made on Friday was welcome news for Peter Corbyn, executive director of the New Brunswick Non-Profit Housing Association, which has members who will get to tap into the newly announced funds.

"We've been advocating for this type of investment for quite a few years," Corbyn said.

"If you look back in time, we've basically not had much investment in this sector for about 30 years."
