Meeting Senior S Housing Needs

This guide is intended to help a wide variety of organizations (such as service clubs, religious & ethnic organizations, and neighbourhood groups) become more active in seniors' housing in their communities. Part 1 describes seniors' housing preferences & options and presents an overview of the way that seniors' housing is developed & managed in Canada. Part 2 contains a framework for action to help a group get organized, with advice on understanding community housing needs and how to raise funds to help finance community group activities. The final part reviews three broad approaches to meeting seniors' housing needs that could be used by community groups throughout Canada.

The objectives of the conference were to identify the issues seniors face in meeting their housing needs, and to discuss and formulate practical solutions to respond to changing housing needs. These proceedings contain information on staying in your own home or choosing other housing alternatives.
