Draft Seniors Housing Strategy is now live!

After extensive engagement with older adults, community organizations serving seniors, and caregivers over the last year, we are excited to share a draft of the City’s first Seniors Housing Strategy. The draft strategy outlines policies, partnerships, and advocacy to work towards the overarching goal of ensuring elders and older adults have the housing and supports needed to allow for aging in appropriate and affordable housing in their community.

The strategy focuses on housing and related supports; however, it is important to note that work is needed across the city and with partners to better support the well-being of older adults. The Seniors Housing Strategy is one piece of the overall goal of becoming an age-friendly city and will continue to evolve. We invite you to share the strategy with your network and provide your comments on the key directions.
