The new transitional housing project on Forest Hill Road in Fredericton is two weeks away from completion and some residents have already moved in to their new spaces.
Organizers behind the Neighbourly Homes project — an initiative of the non-profit 12 Neighbours — said the project will include two twin courtyards with a total of 27 single-person units.
Marcel LeBrun, the founder of 12 Neighbours and man behind the Neighbourly Homes project, said 13 people moved into the first courtyard this week while the second, 14-unit courtyard is being completed.
“We have people come in who hadn’t had food in a few days and so it was just exciting to see people get kind of the basics of what they need,” said LeBrun.
