Several advocacy groups and not-for-profits that support low-income and homeless Frederictonians share common concerns going into the election. The most prominent concern shared by these groups was housing affordability and availability. Nichola Taylor, the Chair of ACORN NB, noted that leaving almost all housing in the city to private sector landlords causes higher rents and exploitative practices. Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick CEO Perry Kendall explained that the increasing cost of construction also restricts new affordable housing units. Finally, Warren Maddox, the Executive Director of Fredericton Homeless Shelters Inc. predicted significant cuts to federal programming and emphasized that voters should pay attention to who will cut funding from which programs.<\/p>\n
