CMHA PEI holds grand opening for its affordable housing project in Alberton

The PEI Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association, together with the provincial government, is holding the grand opening Wednesday of its commercial modular housing project in Alberton. The project has received a forgivable loan of $2 million and $1.4 million in annual operating loan grants over the next 10 years from the PEI Housing Corporation enabling CMHA PEI to expand housing supports in Alberton. This is CMHA PEI’s second commercial modular housing project. The first project at 203 Fitzroy Street in Charlottetown, was completed in November 2022. The Alberton project is a two-storey building and it consists of six studio units and four one bedrooms, two of which will be accessible. The new housing will be for individuals receiving assistance through CMHA’s mental health programming within the community.
