Non-Profit Housing Association plans to work with municipalities

Members of the province's Non Profit Housing Association got a bus tour of affordable housing sites in Saint John while they were in town for a three day conference.

Executive member Tim Ross says too many people have the false belief that building affordable housing draws crime and drugs to a neighbourhood.

He says the association plans to fix this by working with municipalities.

The association currently has over 62,000 units in the province housing 32,000 people.
