Members of the Tantramar Affordable Housing Initiative, a group of volunteers working to address the housing crisis locally, plan to speak at a meeting of Sackville Town Council on Monday evening.
Among them is Reggie Beal, a father of three young children who works at a local grocery store. The building where he lives is up for sale, and he fears his family could become homeless.
By Sunday, he was still searching for a home using online platforms like Kijiji and Facebook, and by word-of-mouth. So far, nothing’s worked.
"It's hard when you're trying to work...but at the same time, worry about where you might be living, worry about whether you're going to be homeless," he said in an interview Sunday.
The public meeting of Sackville Town Council takes place Monday at 7 p.m. Those meetings are livestreamed on the Town of Sackville’s Youtube Channel.
