ACORN HOLDING RENT CONTROL RALLY OUTSIDE OF PROVINCIAL HOUSING SUMMIT
On Tuesday, May 2nd ACORN will be rallying outside of the Housing Futures Summit to send a message that the province’s affordable housing strategy must include rent control.
What: Rent Cap Rally
When: Tuesday, May 2nd at 12 Noon
Where: Saint John Trade and Convention Centre (Market Square Lighthouse)
ACORN Chair Nichola Taylor says “An affordable housing strategy that excludes a rent cap is doomed to failure. This government is more interested in appearing to solve the housing crisis than actually enacting policies that help alleviate the pressures faced by New Brunswick tenants. The Higgs’ government decision to cancel the rent cap has been an unmitigated disaster and needs to be reversed immediately.”
