Nova Scotia is underutilizing the public housing it owns according to the latest report from Auditor General Kim Adair. There are 20 recommendations from her office on ways to improve the governance of the public housing and the lack of accountability that exists. There are more than 11-thousand units across the province and there are currently more than 6-thousand people on waiting lists. And the average wait is two years, longer for some applicants. Government has already announced that it agrees with the findings and will work at making "meaningful changes" for Nova Scotians in need of public housing. Adair says government oversight in this program is severely lacking, and those are carefully chosen words that aren't often used in their reports. And she's hopeful that there are plans to address deficiencies as quickly as possible.
