On September 24, 2026, the organization celebrated the transformation of the former Barton School in Digby County into a community of eight new homes. Additionally, a total of 13 new co-op homes have been developed, which includes the completion of projects in both Digby and Shelburne Counties. These developments have successfully repurposed former municipal and educational properties, reflecting a broader trend towards innovative housing solutions in response to local demand for affordable living options.
