Some housing advocates are wondering why so many housing projects in New Brunswick were denied funding from a federal program.
New Brunswick got less than half a per cent of the total funding available through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation s rapid housing initiative.
The first half of the $1-billion funding was allocated to bigger cities. New Brunswick saw none of that. Halifax was the only city in Atlantic Canada to receive funding, with $8.7 million.
