Crescent Valley | South End | Waterloo Village | Old North End | Lower West Side

Crescent Valley, a 388-unit public housing project owned by the Province of New Brunswick, was born in the 1950s from a federal-provincial partnership to construct low income housing units in the city’s north end. Crescent Valley spans 27.5 acres with its two main boulevards – MacLaren and Churchill – and adjoining courts and avenues. The provincial Department of Social Development is now planning a revitalization of the Crescent Valley area with the removal of 88 units to be replaced with more integrated community.

The community has organized through two resident groups, the Crescent Valley Community Tenants Association (President, Janet McLaughlin) and the Crescent Valley Resource Centre (Chair, Nancy Savoie and Coordinator, Lisa Morris). One resident says that with the support of community partners the residents are developing good communication and working skills, and along with that comes pride in, and ownership of, their community.
