Common Councillor Disappointed With Affordable Housing Numbers

Councillor Peter McGuire isn't happy with the affordable housing figures in the city.
 
The Department of Social Development has 415 units constructed or in development in the city, which makes up 26 percent of affordable housing in the province.
 
McGuire says that number is too low.

Over the next two years, the Department is planning on developing 57 additonal units in the city but McGuire wants more than double that. 

He says at one time, there were over a thousand people on the waiting list.
