The Department of Social Development has 415 affordable housing units constructed or in development in the city, with over 50 more being planned over the next two years
City Councillor Peter McGuire says while it's always great to have units, he was hoping there were more than double the units available now.
He says at one point there were over a thousand people on a waiting list for affordable housing.
26 percent of affordable housing in the province is located in Saint John.
