Hundreds of people with disabilities in Nova Scotia are on a waiting list for community-based supports. It’s a problem that advocates say means the system is in crisis.

Canada's cities say housing is becoming increasingly unaffordable at every income level, and the federal government's plans for a national housing strategy need to include billions more for social housing to confront the problem.
