The wait list for social housing in Ontario continues to grow.The Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association says the number seeking housing was up 2.9 per cent in 2011, but was down slightly in the Rainy River district.
Executive Director Shared Karur says the economy is part of the reason in terms of people being able to afford housing.
He says incomes are also failing to keep pace with the rise of inflation and the cost of housing.
The Association says 29 people were on wait lists in the Rainy River district, compared with 37 in 2010.
