Student Housing Nova Scotia

Student Housing Nova Scotia is a non-profit organization that develops, provides, and advocates for housing that meets the needs of post-secondary students across Nova Scotia. We also lead and support research, programs, and initiatives which address the housing needs of students. We were established in 1965 as the Halifax Student Housing Society to provide housing that met the needs of under-represented university students in our community. In the years since, we have provided thousands of students with a place to call home, saving them millions of dollars in rent, while offering a supportive environment to live, learn, and grow. In 2024, we announced our evolution from the Halifax Student Housing Society to Student Housing Nova Scotia with a renewed province-wide mandate and a vision for the future of student housing in our province. This broader provincial focus reflects our commitment to providing high quality, safe, and affordable housing to students across Nova Scotia. All of these things contribute to our vision: that every student in Nova Scotia has access to housing that meets their needs.
