The federal government has added 56 properties to a new public lands bank of locations that are suitable for long-term leases so developers can build affordable housing.

Housing Minister Sean Fraser made the announcement today in Halifax just ahead of a three-day cabinet retreat intended to prepare for the upcoming fall sitting of Parliament.
